We're making tracks...



















Hi Everyone,
This is Brittany Hopkins writing. I've am thrilled to be a part of this trip as the female chaperone from Wasatch Academy. While I don't know everything about what we will be doing once we get to India, I thought I might share our itinerary given to us by Karna Puri- the coordinator from the Welham Boys School in India.
Day 0- Leave for India
Day 1- Arrive in New Delhi at 11:10 PM
Day 2- Take an overnight train to Dehradun (where we meet up with the students of the Welham Boys School)
Day 3- Take a train towards the village
Day 4- Travel by road to the Village of Sumgarh (I'm thinking "by road" means a bus)
Day 5- Begin work on the project (helping to build a school that was demolished by mudslides)
Day 6- Project
Day 7- Project
Day 8- Walkabout to Dhakur (view of Himalayan Peaks)
Day 9- Return to Sumgarh
Day 10- Project
Day 11- Project
Day 12- Project
Day 13- Bus to Naini Tal
Day 14- Bus to Corbett Tiger Reserve
Day 15- Elephant/Jeep Safai (followed by overnight train to Delhi)
Day 16- Delhi
Day 17- 1:45 AM fly back to the states
Day 17 round two- We land in Utah around 4 PM

Above are the maps of where we will be going. While I wasn't able to locate a dot with the words "Sumgarh Village" on a map, I was able to find out the coordinates.
Hopefully we will be able to upload images from India so check back soon!
