Hey Everyone!
Sorry for the day off yesterday, we were in a rural village, Dahod, having an amazing time seeing the company Sahaj (where Lauren worked for the summer) and finding out about how a smaller company like that works. Starting off the day from an overnight train ride (definitely a new experience) and a 4 hour drive through India country, it was really nice to meet a lot of warm Indians who were excited to show us their work. They create crafts and basically all parts of the business are done in house so it's really cool to see how such a small organization works through all the pieces. We also visited an even smaller village and temple, and got stuck in the middle of their town in a traffic/people/rickshaw jam! It was quite funny.
We drove to Baruch late in the evening and arrived to Birla Cellulose Campus' guest house where we were treated to a wonderful dinner.
We are excited to learn more and tour the fabric factory (the largest of its kind in the world) today!

Sounds really interesting! It's so cool that you guys get to visit so many different cities while you're there. Can't wait for the next post!
