Due to several complications, our group was only approved a week after everyone else. However, we are covering the workload quite quickly and have started our initial planning. We decided on a mostly service-oriented trip to Jaipur, India. We will be volunteering with a child’s rights NGO called “I-India.”

We were able to establish contact between our service partner fairly quickly and they were able to confirm our dates. Our next step was to find a hotel. I found a hotel about 15 minutes away from the NGO and went ahead with the booking.

We are now going to consult with the teacher in charge of the GC in order to plan activities for the children in the NGO.
