I spent seven days in Delhi and what a wonderful introduction to India it was. As I start the next part of my journey in Mumbai, I wanted to reflect on the first week of my Eisenhower Fellowship.
From my very first meeting with the team from Aga Khan touring the urban renewal project at Nizamuddin Basti and seeing the work at the school, health center and community toilet. I knew that my Fellowship to India was going to be something special. I was seeing real work being done in difficult and sometimes unimaginable situations but the reward was beyond measure and most important for me was hearing the stories of how people in the community were positively affected.
The women from Breakthrough India gave me an opportunity to discuss some of the most pressing issues of women in India today.
