Tigers in India: Servant Leadership Has Been a Privilege for Me

What can I say? This has been an awesome trip from the moment we landed on the runway in New Delhi. We have had many good times, including seeing the Taj Mahal, visiting a 16th century military fort, and seeing the president's house, but the most fun so far has been working with the kids at Sulabh Public School.
I have been working in a group where we are using computers to teach each other about ourselves by using Power Point. These kids already have some basic knowledge of this program, but I have been helping them learn some different design ideas and also some English grammar.
So far, I have observed that these students have big dreams. They wish to go to college in America and become lawyers, doctors, and teachers. I have also found that they learn quick and teach themselves. I can show one student how to do something and before I know it, the entire room has learned from him or her.
The Sulabh School Program is making a difference in society here in India by educating these kids to go on and do something great with their lives, and I feel privileged to have the opportunity to experience
My favorite part of the day is at the end of each class when we give out candy, and seeing the smiles that candy (which we take for granted in America) puts on their faces never gets old to me. This trip and the kids at Sulabh Public School have had a huge impact on me and I hope that I can impact their lives as much as they have mine.
