After twelve hours in air, we have safely arrived in Abu Dhabi. I'll tell you what, we have some champion sleepers on this team. Austin won, though, as she slept a whopping nine hours on the first leg. The food on the flight was delicious, and the movie selection was quite impressive. We have a … Continue reading Connected
Eye masks in place. Movie choices perused (Mr. Alter has chosen Planet Earth, season 2, episode one—just FYI). Lots of discussions about the plastic wrap covering ALL of our in-flight goodies like headphones and eye masks (sustainability on our minds). Dreams of warm chai and daal. Here's to a long flight with friends!
Snacks abound as we make ourselves at home in Terminal A. We are one step closer to India—sort of. We have a long flight ahead of us. But, we are so happy to be here.
There were only a few tearful goodbyes as we loaded our buses. Mostly the promise of adventure permeates our minds. It feels like we have spent an eternity preparing for this moment. Now it's here. We are on our way, and we couldn't be more excited. There are many smiles and lots of talks about … Continue reading We are off (to Dulles)!
It's a normal Tuesday at Christchurch School. We're bustling between classes, polishing essays, and tightening goggles for labs—all while counting down the minutes until we board our flight for India. We're an eclectic group of travelers with a myriad of interests. Some of us can't wait to play with the kids in Agora; others are … Continue reading 2 Days!
As we return to our daily routines here at Christchurch School, I'm glad that I still get to see so many of these faces. Don't worry— There are many more photos coming.
By Weichen Zhao The trip to Senegal gave me an opportunity to think about my future plans with no distractions, but inspirations. I don't really have anything to write. I've expressed much in daily discussions, which Mr. Alter and all the faculty members could prove true. Now is just the time to really 'digest' the … Continue reading Digest
By Lexy Carr The group went through many endings during this trip, leaving our hearts full of hurt and sadness as well as happiness and new knowledge that will affect us as students and people for the rest of our lives. We may be happy about ending the abrupt early mornings that the donkeys and … Continue reading Endings
We are all safely in Brussels, enduring our layover as best we can (eating chocolate at 6:00AM est très difficile, by someone must do it). Leaving Senegal was not easy. It holds onto our hearts in its own special way. Kecouta's village, the seemingly endless feasts, and the adventures have touched us all. Our final … Continue reading 🇧🇪
By Caitlin O'Reilly When I think back to these past few days spent in Senegal, I am lost to find words to capture everything that I have seen and felt. From our first night in a luxurious house right next to the ocean and two nights on an island which felt like paradise, we finally … Continue reading Joy
