The India17 volunteers went to Bhopal for a visit to several World Heritage Sites: Sanchi, Udaygiri Caves and the Rock Shelters of Bhimbetra.
My colleagues have done a better job than I documenting the journey so, check out their Blogs if you have further interest. 
We are now into our second week in Indore. The India@75 team, Zack, Maco and me, have a few more field visits to make. We are still back and forth finalizing elements of the plan with the clients. But, we are mostly heads down on developing the framework for our project regarding urbanization and addressing Indore water scarcity. Then, with a little more than two weeks left, we’ll have about seven days to complete the elements of the project before we begin the dry run and final presentation in the last week. Not too much pressure, eh?
It is amazing how we all get along really well. Our entire team has become a tightly knit community. Thanks to IBM, individuals from Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Germany, Japan, Mexico and the USA have been brought together to do good.
Everyone in CSC has said this is a life changing experience, that’s true for us already. More importantly, we hope the lives we change will be the ones we touch in India.

Wow - I cannot fathom putting together a project in 7 days! I want to hear more about the project and what it entails...I mean - how do you bring more water to a city? Is there a lake or something near? More info Maria - when you have a minute? OK I can wait until you come back home...good luck!
