Teaching students in Rishikesh was an experience I’ll never forget. The children were eager to learn, and their enthusiasm made every lesson exciting. The local coordinators were always helpful, and the school had a welcoming atmosphere. Afternoons were spent exploring or joining yoga sessions by the Ganges. I’ve left with new friendships, amazing memories, and a fresh perspective on education and its importance.

I had been thinking about going on a long vacation for a while now, something more important than a normal holiday. Since my work as a software developer can be emotionally and physically stressful, I knew I wanted to do something different when I was finally granted the chance to take a three-month vacation.
