Today we arrived on the beautiful island of New Providence in the equisite country of the Bahamas.

Our next wonderful surprise was our luxurious accommodations at the Wyndham Nassau Resort  who have very generously provided us with accommodation for our entire stay in the Bahamas.

Adhirtatha Keefe looks on as Shatapatri Mahar and Oria Wood-Knowles meet for the first time after months of planning this event on the telephone. Ms. Wood-Knowles works and the Ministry of Youth, Sport and Culture and has facilitated our visit her in the Bahamas. We are extremely grateful to the Ms. Wood-Knowles and all the staff at the Ministry for supporting and partnering with us to enable our visit to the Bahamas.

Ashirvad and Salil examine the excellent program Ms. Wood-Knowles had prepared including visits to schools and colleges on three islands, and the highlight, a formal reception at the Governor-General's residence. Our visit will conclude with a 24 mile run on Saturday with lots of local participation.

Jayashri, Adhiratha and Shatapatri listen with eager anticipation as Oria explain the many exciting arrangements and experiences in store for us.

Ms. Wood-Knowles holds the torch for the first time.

Adhiratha is delighted to see a poster promoting the run in Ministry of Youth, Sport and Culture elevator.

Ashirvad tries on his new Bahamian World Harmony Run T-shirt.
