<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2.4; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.6667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Early this morning we strapped on our shoes, grabbed our </span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">paani</span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.6667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> (water) and headed to a giant field where we awaited our rivals for our cricket rematch game; American Bears vs. Indian Bears. The tournament ended as a tie game, each team having won one match. After much application of sunblock, we walked back to our homestays to spend our final moments with our host families. Moments filled with our last meals in Chinchoti, painted nails, and creating friendship bracelets and everlasting friendships. We exchanged much laughter and photos that captured our appreciation and experience in the beautiful village of Chinchoti. Our final goodbye consisted of a marathi phrase </span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.6667px; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">parrat betu </span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.6667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">taught to us by Krishna which roughly translates as “I will see you upon my return”. Teary-eyed we piled into rickshaws and traveled to the ferry for the second leg of our journey to Mumbai. The boat ride was approximately 40 minutes to the hotel, where we showered and prepared to share our leadership stories. These stories consisted of moments in our life that represent our transformation into leaders or why we decided to apply for the India Program. Everyone had their own personal story and it was an open and emotional few hours. For our last night in Mumbai, we returned to our favorite restaurant, Koyla, for dinner. Then, we participated in A.N.C.H.O.R, and reflected on our week in Chinchoti. Many shared their concerns and hopes when returning to America. However, the common themes were everyone’s sadness for their departure, the love for the bonds made, and the struggle for expressing our amazing and complex experiences in this colorful country.</span></div>

We started off our packed day by going on a hike up a mountain to
see the sunrise. On the top of the mountain we did yoga and wrote found poems from our journaling. Afterwards
we had a discussion on global issues and learned about the Millennial
development goals. Following that, we played an activity and had to organize
the goals and decide which goals were most important. It was very difficult for
us to do this because all of the goals seemed important and many of them didn’t
affect us. Then we had help putting on saris by some of the local women for our dance performance. They did our hair and gave us jewelry to wear. At the celebration we watched the younger girls perform a dance and then we showed our dance to some of the community members. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In the evening we sat on a rooftop and some of the local girls did henna on our arms. We then had a conversation with them about the lives of women in Chinchoti. Surprisingly, some of the stories that we told each other through a translator had similarities and overlapped. Tonight was the first night of Holi and there was a parade of all the people in the village carrying a large tree to burn for the long multi-day celebration. The parade had really loud drums and a few of our homestays were outside to see it. We are really sad to say goodbye tomorrow and leave our host families. We will miss Chinchoti so much!</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Today was our third day in the village, and it was full of
calming reflection, beautiful saris, beaming sunshine, boisterous laughter, and
lots and lots of muscle-working dancing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>After breakfast the group traveled to a fish farm where we reflected on
who we saw as leaders in our life and what a leader is while absorbing the beauty
of the surrounding nature.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Following our
personal reflections, Susan led us in an activity where we followed her guiding
prompts to determine what type of leader we generally are.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The types of leaders ranged from artisan to
idealist to guardian to rationalist, which makes our group very well rounded.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This led us to the conclusion that because we
all hold different leadership features we all get along well together.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We ended with a yoga activity where we all
depended on each other to stay steady and it gave us a visual to the lesson we
had just learned.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Following
our activity, we headed back to the house and witnessed some brickmaking on the
way.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At the house, women and girls of
the village helped us but on handmade blouses and saris.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Each sari complimented the features of the
wearer, which made for lovely future Instagram posts.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After a photo shoot at Ganesh’s house, we all
walked to the wedding ceremony of a young couple.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We watched them arrive at the festivities and
experienced some traditional Indian wedding rituals.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After a while in the humidity, we returned to
Ganesh’s house and took a break with some delicious mango punch and
cookies.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For the rest of the afternoon,
we relaxed with our homestay families before regrouping for dance
rehearsal.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On the rooftop, we practiced
multiple times for our performance that will be happening tomorrow at the
school.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We all mastered the moves and
had a great workout.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After, we walked
down to an open field and played our new favorite, CRICKET.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We all proved our awesome athletic abilities
and had a great time running around together.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>At the end of our time together, we sat in a circle and talked about our
appreciations and observations from today and hopes for tomorrow.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Another enjoyable day in Chinchoti.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
We were awoken on our first morning
in Chinchoti by the sounds of the village: chickens, people, music, and even a
duck (baduck in Marathi)! During our morning group meeting in the main house, we played the Human
Knot. After that we left the main house to experience a pre-wedding ceremony
for a girl in the village. We all participated in a turmeric purification
ceremony where we rubbed turmeric and rice on the bride-to-be’s face, and she
had some fun putting it on our faces as well! We were generously welcomed at
the vibrant ceremony by the entire community, who had all been invited. Next,
Krishna took us on a tour of Chinchoti. We walked around the entire village and
paused at its main temple dedicated to the monkey god, Hanuman, to discuss our
observations so far in terms of customs. After the tour we all went back to our
homestays and had lunch with our families. The afternoon was filled with lots
of playing, friendship bracelet making, puzzling, and just talking with our
families and kids in the community. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
Later in the day, we all gathered
to practice a traditional dance in a community member’s house. After several
tries and with the patience of our instructors, the dance began to take shape.
We hope to have perfected by our performance for the community on Tuesday! To
end the day, we all gathered in an open field surrounded by hills to write in
our journals and reflect on our busy day. It was nice to find a peaceful place
away from the bustling center of the village to allow us to meditate quietly.
When the sun set, we all walked back to our homestays for another delicious
meal. As we sit here and write, we are preparing to see another pre-wedding
custom: a dance ceremony. We are ecstatic and grateful for the opportunity to
experience first hand such an important part of Indian culture. Stay tuned! <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
Our day began with a rousing game
of “Heads Up! It’s Jeopardy!,” a game invented by Emily and Izzy to review our
India trivia. We then packed our things and made our way to the ferry, the
first leg of our journey from Mumbai to Chinchoti, where we will spend the week
living, laughing and learning with our homestay families.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>From the ferry, we then traveled to the
village by rickshaw.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Throughout the long
journey, we passed by many buildings covered in fluorescent blues, greens,
purples, and more.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When we arrived in
Chinchoti, we spent some time discussing our hopes and fears before splitting
up to meet our families. All of the students would agree that though there were
awkward silences, these silences were filled with positive energy. In Izzy’s
homestay, we played an intense game of UNO, got our hair braided by Yamini, an
excellent English speaker, and learned how to write our names in Marathi.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
This afternoon we were treated to
an energetic rooftop dance lesson. We had lots of fun and anticipate dramatic
improvement in future rehearsals! Our newly acquired skills will come in handy
over the next couple days as we prepare to attend a local wedding ceremony. We
closed the evening with ANCHOR, and acronym for Appreciation, News, Concerns,
Hopes, Observations, and Reading.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Almost
all of us shared that we are very appreciative of our homestay families and how
they opened their arms and welcomed us into their home. It’s been a long day
full of travel and new experiences, and we are excited for what will come next.

Today we toured Dharavi with Reality Tours, an organization that Krishna founded, which is a so called slum in Mumbai. We were split into two groups and our tour guides were Krishna and Sunny. We learned today that there were jobs available in Dharavi for everyone who lives there. These included manufacturing of clothes, pottery, jewelry, and other goods that could be sold within Dharavi or throughout India. Additionally, recycling of heavy metals and plastics were a huge industry in Dharavi. As we walked around it seemed like many people held jobs in relation to recycling. Throughout the tour we were also surprised about all of the stores that were there. There were major markets that sold food, clothes, and other items that people living in Dharavi could buy. In addition, we were surprised that there were so many schools. We saw many students walking around in uniforms and we were surprised to see how many kids were able to get an education. It was an eye opening experience and many stereotypes that we had going into today in Dharavi were broken. We did not think about the fact that people would manufacture so many goods, that there would be a market, or that there would be so many schools. Our opinion of Dharavi has changed and we got new insight into the daily lives of people living in Dharavi.<br />
<br />
Once we concluded our tour we went to the Reality Gives, the sister organization of Reality Tours, community center in Dharavi. There, we were introduced to teenagers and young adults that are taking English and their teacher, Jodi. We made friends with the students very quickly. Many of us said that they are some of the nicest, funniest, and happiest people we have met. We were able to laugh over our minimal vocabulary in Hindi, while they taught us many more phrases and words that would be useful for the rest of our stay here. We sang their favorite songs by Rihanna and Justin Bieber, as they gave us beautiful henna tattoos. Through finding commonalities between us and the students in Dharavi we got a very personal look into what life in Dharavi is like. One thing that we learned is that their lives are full of hope and optimism for the future. A woman we met had many hopes for her future and wanted to work at a call center and take international calls. Meeting the students was another eye opening experience and we were able to learn a lot about them and build strong relationships. Many of us even exchanged emails and phone numbers to try and keep connected.<br />
<br />
After we concluded the tour we returned to our hotel and then went to dinner on the rooftop of a restaurant called Koyla.<br />
<br />
Love,<br />

Today was our first day out into the city. To start our day, we had a nice breakfast at the hotel next door. From there, we walked over to the Gateway of India that symbolized India's colonization and independence, as it was the port in which the British first arrived to colonize and the last port in which the British left following colonial rule. Many Indians crowed around us and asked for our pictures or just listened about what our leader Krishna had to say to us. The attention was uncomfortable at times, but we have pretty much learned to roll with the punches, recognizing that the people staring and snapping pictures had only good intentions. Near the gateway was the Taj Hotel, known as the most expensive hotel in the world. Famous leaders from Vladimir Putin to Barack Obama have stayed at this hotel, and it was thrilling to see an international staple of power and diplomacy in the middle of Mumbai.<br />
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dxsZ-6VklOf1SJIRKVBOLbLTL0R2jszYa6q9L5v_OfRlTfS-9kVjMECTkO3IU4UANKfFLnlHranGBQ48DqAEA' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe>We went to a Hindu temple and were able to not only observe people in their religious setting, but to participate in the ceremonies as well. As we filed into the most sacred room of the temple, many of us with fresh kmukuma smeared on our foreheads, I was struck by the inviting atmosphere; although myself and the group do not identify as Hindu, we were as welcome to be active in the rituals as any other beings in the temple. After the temple, we journeyed to the house of Mohandas Gandhiji, a place where he lived and wrote. A representative of how powerful nonviolent protest can be, we were able to learn more about Gandhi's life and beliefs that we had never known before. He was an active fighter for women's rights, he supported coexistence between Hindu's and Muslim's, and he wrote letters to the likes of Hitler and President Roosevelt, holding them accountable for their actions, or imploring them for help in the fight against imperialism. After we left the Gandhi museum, we traveled to our final and most overwhelming destination-the marketplace. Once we entered through a gateway into the market, all chaos broke loose. People were everywhere, on foot and motorcycle, putting various garments for sale into our faces. Various smells hit us from every corner, and as we walked through the narrow labyrinth of the market I didn't know what sight, sound, or smell to focus on. As group leaders, the two of us were given 100 rupees (about 1.5 USD) and instructed to buy grass in order to feed the sacred cows, one of which licked my hand. The marketplace truly was an "assault on our senses", and allowed us to see one aspect of a complex and constantly evolving city. In between the market and dinner we returned to our hotel to refresh ourselves, and maybe even prank Mr. Fabris. Dinner was delicious, and when we came back to the hotel we journaled and spoke about our high and low points of the day. Although we have been in Mumbai for a short period, many of us have already grasped that India is a pendulum-where the most expensive hotel lies on one block, and crumbling infrastructure lies on the next. Poverty and wealth go side by side, and where one sees money they can be certain that they will see poverty in the next five minutes. The question rests on the minds of many, whether it is better to have the interweaving of wealth we see in India or the socioeconomic segregation that we see in Rhode Island. We both feel incredibly lucky to be in the fascinating city that is Mumbai, especially with an amazing group that is both bold and growing closer by the second.<br />
