We made our way to Salem, India to stay with friends Kevin met on his last trip to India. Our host, besides being an all around amazing guy, is actively involved in the Rotary club and many of their projects.

Just outside of Salem there are some kids that wanted to learn so badly they used to sit out under a tree.Ā  People built them a small hut but it leaked, and the kids could only have school on the days when there was no rain.Ā  So Rotary Club helped to build them a new brick building.Ā  They were going to bring desks and chairs over and Kevin got to film it.
