What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
I'd recommend future travelers to be a part of this program in India. As I worked remotely, I missed a few chances to visit the community I was trying to design a solution for which would have helped me find a more accurate solution, had I met them.

Moreover, would have loved to walk between them, embrace the cultural differences we have & would have learned from them.
