(Picture-a visit to a local village)
Meeting people and making new friends has been one the treasures of my work and my travels. One such friend, Sam Chelladurai, whom I met at a conference in India, invited me to his home in Bangalore as a means to exchange experiences in community and development. There I met his wife Lissy and his son Jude. I spent six very pleasant weeks as their guest.
They were the ultimate hosts and arranged my travel and many visits to villages in the outlying areas where I had opportunity to share many wonderful experiences with local people and organizations much engaged in community development and endeavouring to make life better for all; often under very arduous circumstances. You will find two articles on this site that tell the story of this journey.
These are but a few pictures which will give you a glimpse of my many adventures while I was there.
