On Sunday evening, we boarded the train to start our 18 days of travel across north India!
First stop: the small rural village of Cuddapah in the middle of Andhra Pradesh.
We are visiting an organization called BIRDS which works with farmers in learning how to become more self-sustaining. The program also rescues girls caught in the sex trafficking trade and runs a children's home and school. Uncle obviously is involved in a great number of projects, and he took the time to explain how BIRDS started and what they are doing.
We were able to visit a local village where the farmers are implementing their new knowledge and had a chance to ask them questions about their experience.
We also went for a hike through the forest-stopping to see many Hindu temples and shrines along the way.
Tonight we board the train headed to another small village in Andhra Pradesh to visit a children's home.
