day before our departure from India... We woke up earlier than usual in order to prepare ourselves for the final ceremony in celebration of our collaboration with the community in Chinchoti. This preparation involved (for the women, at least) putting on saris, which took longer than expected! We then walked to the local elementary school to gather the students and bring them to the ceremony at the temple. The leaders of the community each talked about the projects and presented Berkeley Carroll students and faculty with flowers. Ms. Fogarty, Felix, and Briyana shared their thanks (in Marathi!) with the community. We have it on film. We then said our final goodbyes, a truly bittersweet experience.


We are now at Kashid Beach on the Arabian Sea. It's beautiful! As we write this blog, dinner is being served and we gotta go! Enjoy the pictures!
