Maybe it’s the iconic Taj Mahal that first draws you to India. Or perhaps it’s the snow-covered peaks of the Himalayas, the lure of a camel safari in the Rajasthan desert or the desire to visit Bodh Gaya, where the Buddha attained enlightenment.
Or maybe you’re simply interested in learning more about the country where your sponsored child lives. Whatever intrigues you about India, you’re not alone in your curiosity and wonder.
India can be downright awe-inspiring, because it’s truly a world in itself…one that visitors can’t help but fall in love with. It boasts the second largest population in the world – topping one billion people – and its cultural diversity is apparent in its many languages, religions and diverse ethnic groups and cultures.

Despite the differences among India’s people, visitors are sure to feel welcomed, including in the city of Kolkata (Calcutta), where Children International works. Don’t be surprised if you’re greeted by a graceful namasté, a gesture with the hands denoting welcome and respect. While the sheer size and cultural wealth of India may threaten to overload your senses, those who absorb all the country has to offer find they are better for it. |
