On Learning and Serving in India: Thaddeus Is Getting Down to Earth
By george wesley dannells on Dec 26, 2006 in Baha'i Views
Thaddeus is in India, attending school and serving the Faith. You may remember him from a previous post on this blog. -gw+
The semester has ended here and my fellow students are beginning to fly out and head home. I on the other hand will be beginning a journey throughout India for about a week and a half. I will be heading to Panchgani first, which is around a 18 hour bus ride from Bangalore. There is a Baha’i winter School happening there which will be three days and should prove to be quite a great experience! After that I will continue on to Pune and catch a flight to Delhi, stay there for a few days and visit the Baha’i Lotus temple, will then take a train to Agra to see the Taj Mahal and then will go back to delhi and catch a flight back to Bangalore. I then hope to go out to some remote villages which I have been invited to come to by some Baha’i friends of mine. They wish me to come out and work with the children, God willing it will work out so I can experience a part of Indian life which I have had very little contact with, that is a rural life. It is interesting because the majority of the population of India exists in the rural villages, and not the cities. I have experienced a part of India which a very tiny fraction of Indians actually get to experience and am looking forward to getting “down to earth” with how most of the populous exists.

Note: My complements to Thaddeus for the look of his blog. His adaptation of Google’s venerable “Harbor Lights” blog template is worthy of emulation. -gw
