Hi all! We arrived at Stonehill College on Sunday the 25th and have been incredibly busy ever since. The college had a very nice reception, mass, and dinner for the volunteers and their families and the next morning we said our tearful goodbyes. It is so amazing to have the love and support of my family, friends, and Katherine as I start my journey.
While at the college we have had sessions on Indian culture, community living, career planning, and our summer volunteer experiences. Last year's volunteers have been amazing resources to us answering questions big and small. Tonight, they even came over and taught the girls how to properly wear their saris. I learned as well in case anyone needed help getting ready in the morning!
I am getting more and more excited for the trip as the departure gets nearer and we learn more about what we will be doing while in Agartala. I will do my best to post as soon as I can once we arrive in India!
Best,
Ben
