introduction

Hi. This is John and Sapana, and we'd like to introduce ourselves. We are a semi-newlywed couple living in a wonderful suburb of Houston, Texas. Now that we have settled in to the adventure called marriage, we've decided to go on another little adventure back to Sapana's homeland of India. We've talked much about living a life of service and sacrifice and decided it was time to go a little beyond what we were already doing. In August we will be going to India for 10 months to lend ourselves to the service of the Barli Development Institute for Rural Women. Rather than go into a long explanation of what the institute does, I will just provide you with a link to their website as well as another organization that has written about the institute. We decided to start this blog so that we can keep whoever is interested informed about our journey and experiences. Others who have written about their experiences at Barli and other places around the world have been inspirational, encouraging, and very informative to us, and we hope that anyone else looking for the same will find it here.
