This is Our Chapter
INDIA IMMERSION PROGRAMME
Auckland Grammar School
December 2013 – January 2014
This book contains the reflections of 22 young men who journeyed through India in December 2013 and January 2014.
Their accounts attempt to process the impact of an experience in which they walked a significant path into the unknown, and subsequently, had their lives changed forever.
We the staff, Rachel Candy, Shane Jordan, and Ben Skeen, wish to humbly thank these 22 young men who we had the pleasure to tour with. It has truly been an honour to walk alongside each and every one of them; 22 bloody proud young New Zealand men, 22 incredibly rich young men by way of the parental love and family support that they know, and 22 young men of great promise, who will one day lead careers, communities, countries, and most importantly, families, to realise cultures of wonderful love and value.
Dedicated to . . .
The boys
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.
Nelson Mandela
