Longitude's Building Communities program which Ravi and his Association of Relief Volunteers (ARV) have created, has so much to offer to the Dalit community. The villagers are provided with stable, long-term homes and the education to fight for greater recognition and support from their government. Ravi's continuing commitment to the Dalit community is my reason for returning to Gummallapadu village. This time around, we are very fortunate to be joined by so many new volunteers.

After the longest train ride of our lives, due to the current political situation in Hyderabad, we finally arrived safely in Eluru yesterday morning. It's been surreal being back here just six months later. Even though we're staying in the same place, it feels so different with a different group of people. Jonathan and I, who have visited Gummallapadu (GP) once before, were so excited to see all our friends in the village.
