Nyasha (our friend we met in India), writes: I can’t believe its been almost 3 years since we met in India, it feels like just yesterday. That night was such a powerful evening, meeting you and Gene. I never imagined that sharing my story of leaving NY to move to Mumbai to volunteer with an NGO and church would encourage so…

I called ahead to the Trident, a 5 star hotel in Nariman Point, Mumbai, to…

Tell us your story- How did you get here? How long have you been in Mumbai?…
