India Mission 2007: India... A Vision Realized

Our Diary

June 26 - Climbing the Coconut Tree

Team India began their day by peeling ourselves out of bed and into the minibus, and drove to a local farm, which is also the future location of NESSAM’s children’s shelter. This organization also funds a low-income area school, Holy Garden Nursery and Primary School. A former student of this school met us at the farm to gather coconuts from one of the plethora of palm trees in the area.

It was off to the school from there, where CAIDSHP performed one workshop to older students (ages approx. 15-20+). They were well received during both workshops, the second of which was performed later on in the day to about sixty youth. Leadership, teamwork and communication were the important points Team India touched upon, and we continue to learn the best ways to portray these skills throughout our workshops.
