" I went on a Community Aid Alliance study tour in Eastern India. We visited tribal communities in Andhra Pradesh and Orissa and during meetings with the local people we were able to see the life-changing effect of community development on the villages. I learned so much about the real side of India and the benefits of as well as the challenges facing this kind of work and I feel extremely lucky that I have experienced this. "
