Last Days in India

Showing some footage from when Sven and Kevin did their survey in Darewadi and we visited the village school for the first time. We learned so many things in the last 2 months working together with Ecosan Services Foundation in the village. Thanks to all the wonderful people that supported us in India and especially Pune! (special thanks to Track&Trail!) Our bikes are packed and we’re ready to go home… it was a wonderful trip!
