Gathering from Seattle and Rapid City and Minot and New Orleans and Fargo and Detroit Lakes and Alexandria and Apple Valley and other places in between, we journeyed through Minneapolis, Chicago, Frankfurt, and Mumbai (Bombay) and finally arrived in Bangalore and our home at Visthar. After freshening up and resting just a little, we had a tour of the campus and lunch. Now we are further settling in and trying to establish our computer connections. Once we do, maybe a couple of students will share some first impressions of India.
On Sunday, we went to St. John’s Church for a Church of South India service with communion. Then David took us out for brunch. We got caught in the rain toward the end of our meal. Then we toured a few more sights of Bangalore and returned to Visthar where it rained so hard the power went out.
On Monday, we had our
first introductory class about our expectations and the design of the program. Then we had our Inauguration Ceremony where we received bindis, shared speeches, sang songs, floated candles, and danced with the Bandhavi girls.
