It doesn't matter where one travels in the world, people are beautiful. This is obvious when it comes to the people of Garhwal, the part of the northern Indian state of Uttartakhand, where we are spending our winter.
One of my most delightful experiences while helping out at GEMS has been the opportunity to support a special project by classes 5, 6, and 7. Each learner in these classes has interviewed his or her mother and written about her. This has been an extremely engaging assignment for the children, and they have done some amazing work. Eventually, the stories will be woven together to create a book that will be published.
My small part in the "Mothers Project" has been to visit villages where the children live, and to photograph some of their mothers. In the slideshow below, I've shared just a few images of some very beautiful people. The final slide is a striking image of Kunwar Chauhan and his mother. Kunwar, along with his wife Lori, founded GEMS a little over four years ago.

Beautiful pictures, Paul, and beautiful mothers! ~Krista
