The team departed on 20 October for a two week trip to India. During the first week, Leaders enjoyed some amazing sights and experiences including visiting the Taj Mahal and riding a rickshaw through the busy streets of Delhi.

In the second week, the Leaders taught life skill workshops at Neel Kamal Public High School. These workshops in drama, arts and crafts and sports and nutrition, allowed the local Indian students to build confidence and skills that are not included in their school curriculum.
