The people and connecting to them in meaningful and personal ways. People ask me to tell them what was most wonderful about India. This question is so easily answered as it is the people of India and the exchanges we had that made the trip worthwhile and will allow it to be worthwhile for my students.
A few people I met at Brilliant Stars that I hope to stay in touch with include Bisu, Vinod and Jiban. Bisu, our host teacher and principal of Brilliant Stars was such a kind and gracious host. I hope to maintain our connection and work together to connect our students. Vinod ask many times for materials to help his students become stronger writers and I hope to continue connecting in this fashion. Lastly, Jiban, a young teacher at BSS, asked me to connect him with our speech and hearing director so he might learn more about stuttering. I am working to connect Jiban with people who may have insight about this issue.
