«What may seem like an insignificant act to us can change many lives here. And that, in turn, changes us too.»

Cristina Echevarria
GAES Ponferrada – India, in collaboration with the Vicente Ferrer Foundation

Life puts stories and people in your path that open your eyes and your arms. The world is vast and full of experiences.

India shakes you—it’s chaos and, at the same time, a haven. It’s a collision with a reality that doesn’t come through a screen. Emotions tighten and burst into a sense of happiness and peace, because what may seem like an insignificant act to us can change many lives here. And that, in turn, changes us too.

I return home full of gratitude, carrying the children’s smiles, the courage of the women, and a burning desire to go back.
