Over Spring Break, Jay Sinnard, manager of the Student Technology Resources Center (STRC), is traveling with a class to provide media support as they record testimonials as part of their class project.

Over the course of their trip, Jay and the students will share on this blog some of their observations, images and video from their travels. Check back often…

From Jay:

We stayed at the Jayamahal palace where we had breakfast.

Lunch, then a three-plus hour drive to Mysore, sister city of Cincinnati. On this long bus trips class was held.

We stopped at a temple just outside Mysore.  We took 1,000 steps to the top bare footed.  No shoes allowed.  90 plus degree in middle of day.  All 21 students went up in about 9 min.  It took me 15 min!

In the morning we did a guided walking tour of Mysore.  Where we visited an open market.  Then we had a private tour of the Mysore palace. Group picture is in the king’s animal trophy room.  Last picture is palace at night. The UC students were interviewed by 10th graders from a Mysore school. Then we visited another NGO, (class room picture) Odanadi.
