India Mission 2007: India... A Vision Realized

Our Diary

July 4 - All the Roads that lead you there are winding

Today Team India found itself in better physical condition, and headed back to Chennai from READ in Andimadam. Close to boredom, sights of water buffalos and the sound of salvaged western music kept the members sane.

Upon arrival in Chennai, Team India got down to their last pieces of business. First, we were able to give one last workshop to a group of youth at a Canadian-Indian Allied Technical Institute, where many myths of HIV, as well as social determinants of health were analyzed. The team also had a lot of fun during a workshop that categorized several activities into high, low, and negligible risks of HIV.

After that, the Team went back to some of their old stomping grounds in Chennai, where we first began our mission. We delivered some additional supplies to the Seva Chakkara Samajam orphanage and left some first aid kits to the CHES orphanage. It’s strange returning to the place where it all began after such a long and winding road, which was Mission India.

Tomorrow we will all go further exploring this intricate sub-continent before our epic trip leads us back home to Canada, where stories and memories of the amazing, adorable, and inspiring people we’ve met will be told. And the beat goes on…
