Description

Namaste, a common Indian greeting which "honors the Spirit in you which is also in me", is our summer community service program where we travel India, focusing on the mountainous northern regions on a 28-day service learning adventure. We experience the rich culture and people of this area as we work and volunteer alongside the community, aiding a small boarding school high in the Himalayas. We enjoy the trek of a lifetime in the Himalayas, experience life on the Ganges, and witness sunrise at the Taj Mahal. Contact us to discover more about our summer service trip in India, designed especially to challenge and inspire teenagers.
