Family

There is a place called Odanadi where women and children get a safe place to live. Boys and young men as well. It is a sad thing in India, or any place for that matter, where abuse is rampant. Women, children have no place to go. End up on the street, sold, or worse, continue […]

Second road trip… Bylakuppe. This is a Tibetan refugee camp, actually more like a town, located a couple hours drive out of Mysore. The temple there was amazing. The Golden Temple.

We got pegged right away as tourists (not difficult to do) and immediately had several “guides” helping us along our […]
