Days 2-3...Long journey...but we made it!
After three long days of travel, we finally arrived in India! We landed in New Delhi at about 2 in the morning, got our suitcases (they all came!) and got in the van to drive to Rudrapur. The drive was 6 hours long, but it honestly didn’t feel like we were driving for that long because we were all absorbing as much of the Indian culture as we could through the window. After we arrived at the hotel and settled in, we met with our four Bullis Fellows--the four young women who the Bullis chapter of Educate Girls Globally (EGG) sponsors--and a few other representatives from their villages, in addition to some EGG team members. Seeing the Fellows for the first time was absolutely incredible. It’s one thing to hear about them on paper and to know that we are fundraising for four girls in India, but seeing them in front of us for the first time and hearing their stories in person was emotional and empowering. I am so thankful that through my work with the EGG club I have been able to support such beautiful human beings who I am so fortunate to have had the opportunity to meet.
