I am very excited about this opportunity for me to travel to Herbertpur, India. Herbertpur is in the northern part of the country near the town of Dehradun in the state of Uttaranchal. I will be visiting a community-based rehab center called the Anugrah Center. It is affliated with Herbertpur Christian Hospital and provides services to children with disabilities. The center is named after the founder’s son, Anugrah, who has cerebral palsy. Anugrah means “grace”. My plan is to leave on February 2nd and arrive in Delhi on February 3rd. The INMED contact in Delhi, will pick me up at the airport and I will stay with her for a few days to get oriented to the culture and purchase Indian clothes called “Salwaar Kameez”. This is what I will wear while I am at the center and in the community. Then, I will take the train (approximately a six-hour trip) to Dehradun. Herbertpur is only about 30 miles from Dehradun. I look forward to updating you more in a couple of weeks!!!
