India Visit a Great Success

The Lisle Visitation Trip to India arrived in Delhi on January 8 for a two week visit. Six Lislers including Barbara Bratton, Lois and Richard Huddlestone, Suzanne Vogel, and Mark and Nancy Kinney visited several Seed Grant recipient agencies and several other projects. They were all very impressed with the work being done and the enthusiasm of everyone involved. Once again Sharada Nayak created an exciting visit to the sites.
