Our Arrival

Josh Hamilton

As I left New Zealand and distanced myself from my routines and family, I became skeptical about my decision to apply for the Immersion trip. However, due to the multiple prior meetings, preparation sessions, and through many stories from Old Boys, I was sure my feelings would change. 

Our first stop, Singapore, allowed us to get an idea of what is expected from us as a group and how we are going to function while in India. On our first full day together as a group, we bonded and developed a great culture and environment for us all to be in. This culture ignited a spark within me, and it has made me look forward to the next month even more than I had before.

As we travel to Kolkata, I feel immensely privileged to be apart of the 2017/18 India Immersion Tour, and also excited to recreate the journeys of the boys who have been to India in the past. I am sure Mr Skeen's favourite city in the world will quickly become mine as well.
