2014 Project by Tanis Brown, Lisa Taylor and Donella Swan

As three students on the cusp of graduation, our journey to India was much more than an adventure abroad. Beginning our journey into the “real world” by entering a completely foreign culture from our own and being pushed completely out of our comfort limits, not only did we learn a lot about ourselves but we found our Khushi – our happiness.

Exploring the idea of happiness and what it means we looked to the children of the Sri Ram Ashram for help. Through photography they shared with us a most precious gift – their idea of happiness.

From this The Khushi Project was born – and to capture this truly amazing experience, we produced a short video and published a book so that we may share the heart-warming words and photos from children who became like our brothers and sisters half way across the world.
