On January 2, 2008 we left for Kalimpong, India. We traveled with a group of Colby College students and served as mentors (as well as teachers) for their JanPlan course. The last day we (along with some Colby and Gandhi Ashram students) performed a concert at the American Embassy in Delhi.

The majority of our time in India was spent at the Gandhi Ashram School. We tried to keep this site updated with accounts and photos of our experiences and adventures along the way. Now that we’re back, I’ve also added some reflective comments and more photos. Our prior expectations for an exciting trip were definitely met!
Here are some other links for the Gandhi Ashram School which might be interesting.

Before leaving for India, we enjoyed an excellent meal at the house of dear friends (K & M). They suggested that we set up a blog for our trip to India. They recommended WordPress and got us started. Here we are! Thanks to K & M!!

Basil was our first Beagle. He was a true friend and wonderful companion. His love for us (and ours for him) was unconditional and unflagging. He possessed a depth of character and soul beyond that of many humans. Basil passed away several years ago, but he will be with us always. We miss him very much!

Welcome to the blogworld! Great photo of Basil! And a perfect day today to catch up on blogs, with the snow coming down pretty heavily at the moment. The cats have already settled into a hard day’s napping!–M

I knew Basildogbone and loved him. He was a beagle with a human personality. He was a dear friend and always greeted me with joy and affection.

We all loved Basil. He is still in our hearts. I am sure that he and Buster are up there in doggie heaven playing together.
