This 12-day experience is for eWIT tutors (and a companion, if you’d like) to get face-to-face with the students you’ve been teaching and powerfully building into during the year. It’s highly relational and a time to observe aftercare homes and fully experience the way your students live out their days. From Kathmandu to Mumbai to Kolkata, you’ll travel across three cities, get immersed in the Indian/Nepali culture and front lines of justice work, and simply have the rare opportunity to spend one-on-one time with girls who need the towrope you’ve been so generously giving.

What is the travel like?
It takes over 24 hours to get there and we fly on a commercial airline. Listen to all of your favorite Spotify playlists twice, catch up on sleep, talk to your traveling companions, sleep some more, read, watch movies on your 21st century in-seat entertainment system, or just do nothing…which you probably haven’t done in a long time.
