It's amazing that 4 weeks in India have already passed, and we are in Kolkata for the last leg of our tour. On July 26th, we visited the American Center for a wonderful overview on Kolkata, "A Journey into the City of Joy," by Dr. Niladri Chatterjee. Later we visited a family home and were treated to a delicous dinner and conversation with the many family members. I was intrigued that a 10th year student desires to go to the University of Kansas for her studies.
This summer, I was fortunate to receive a Fulbright-Hays Seminars Abroad grant to travel and study in India. The purpose of Fulbright grants is for U.S. educators to increase their understanding and knowledge of people and cultures throughout the world. As an ESL teacher in Queens, NY, I am looking forward to learning more about the Indian culture, as well as breathing the air, loving the food, and practicing yoga. Follow my journey throughout India and feel free to post comments. Namaste!

ReplyDeleteShe's interested in aerospace engineering... I'm guessing KU has a program for that. Or maybe be just prefers the Jayhawk to the K-State Thundercat :)
