Join Trisha Roberts for a fascinating insight into India – there is no better way to get to know a new place than to share food with local people.  During this colourful two week tour you will visit markets, shop for ingredients, learn to cook southern India food, visit villages, schools and temples and much, much more!

During this tour you will gain firsthand insight into how our projects make a real difference to women like Karuppi.  Along with shopping for ingredients and learning to cook 3 or 4 dishes per day, you will also visit some of SCAD’s projects including income-generating projects, tree and kitchen gardens, and rainwater harvesting and storage projects to see just how your support is making a difference.  The highlight of the whole trip is cooking in a village with a Women’s Self-Help Group following their instructions, cooking on open fires and sharing your food with the women you are helping.
