Today marks the day I have been longing for for two years now... Today is the day that I begin my return journey to Karnataka state, in southern India. Two summers ago, I had the incredible opportunity to travel to Karnataka with the Cornell Global Health Program and participate in a global service learning program in collaboration with the Swami Vivekananda Youth Movement (SVYM) for eight weeks. With a team of my fellow students, we toured the sights of Mysore district, took classes on Indian culture and civilization, attended coworkers' weddings and ate delicious street food. But most importantly, we worked alongside a team of inspiringly dedicated and passionate individuals at SVYM. And through this work, I was exposed to the most awe-inspiring, spiritual and culturally-rich country I have ever visited. India completely captivates me. And I am so fortunate to be returning!
