The Village of Hope

In October of 2004, Jim Epstein of Escelance International (www.ecselance.org) got word from CSU Professor Paul Hudnut, that I would be traveling to India. It was then, that I made the first connection to being part of experiencing the fruitful seeds of hope that were being planted in Belgaon Dhaga: The Village of Hope.

Belgaon Dhaga. Nestled away several kilometers from the town of Nasik, a swirling spirit of hope begins to stir in the wind. Lead by 5 hallmark projects that are the heart and soul of the proven success of hard work and dedicated leadership.

And now, I aim to assist with the further growth of the village entrepreneruship ventures with the help of:
Jim Epstein: The funds provider for the village vision.
Paul Hudnut: My CSU internship coordinator
Vinod and Kamala: Core motivators/educators of the village of hope.
Chandu, Vishnu, and Ashok: 3 of the growing number of entrepreneurs that compose the heart and soul of the projects.
Aanand Manhendroo: Successful dream builder and film producer.
Rutul Naik: A friend and aspiring film student.

More to come soon...
