On my recent trip to Provence I receive an unexpected email from Pascal, the director of TARA Homes for Children in Delhi, that he was in France visiting – could he take the train down to house and spend a few days? \u00a0 GoPhil has been a partner to Pascal and TARA since its first days, and to have a chance to discuss where the journey is all going outside of the madness of Delhi and pressures 31 children at his feet, was a rare opportunity not to be missed. \u00a0 Walks along the trails and sipping local wine by the fireplace cast precious light on the highs lows of running a shelter for vulnerable and abandoned children in India and a chance to reflect on exactly what it is that they are doing right, and where the roadblocks might be in the future.<\/p>\n
