I returned home to Asheville two weeks ago. After playing what seems like non-stop catch-up, I finally have some time to reflect on my time in India.
Every moment was amazing – I won’t go into great depth today – I am just so excited to finally be able to start uploading photos for you all to see!
I have arrived in Munnar.
The weather is the polar opposite of the Thar Desert. It is cool with an early morning mist on the mountains. On the drive up from the Cochin Airport there were several waterfalls. I could only think of what all that water coursing over the rocks would mean to the desert dwellers. I have the morning free – something that I have not experienced for three weeks. It actually feels a little strange. But it does give me time to go for a walk and reflect on my time in India as the sun slowly emerges from the clouds.
Sunday in the Thar Desert- we have been visiting projects that have come to fruition through a partnership between Gravis and Traditional Medicinal’s Revive!Project. We have attended the inauguration of a school in one village and a Senna storage facility that also serves as a community center and temporary school in another village.
Today we go out to the Senna fields.
