Roxana Nourouzi (UW) is embarking on a ten week internship in rural India working with women's self help groups through the Grassroots Community Development internship. She checks in toward the end of her first week to share her initial impressions of India. 
My first exposure to Mumbai was exactly what you would imagine...crazy, random, chaotic and full of life!!!! On the way we drove through slums, saw cows on the side of the road, barefoot children, stores open at 11 pm and much more. The accommodations in Mumbai were comfortable. Nothing fancy but comfortable…
