From Brahma to Buddha, Fall 2007

Hey everyone. My name is Liam Mahabir I am 18 and a recent graduate of Burr and Burton Academy in Manchester, VT. I first started looking into options for a year off in between high school and college after I had made my final decision to attend the University of Vermont. I began to think that it might be nice to, for the first time in many years, not be a student in the fall. I also wanted to be taken out of my comfort zone to a place that was interesting,
beautiful, and different and India undoubtedly met all of these criterion. My interest in Indian culture/religion, love of Indian food, and partial Indian heritage are just of few of the factors that influenced me to take the plunge and sign up for a Global LAB India semester. Additionally I'm really excited to meet and get to know all of you. Our trip is only a few more short weeks away! See you in September.
