  1. Each time I have visited Bagad, I have come back more motivated and charged up. It’s humbling experience, feel touched deep within by humanity at its very raw and pure level. It’s blissful to witness the innocence in the eyes of children, their dreams, hopes and aspirations that till recently were lost in the desert sands, beginning to take roots. The road may be long but, as they say, the thousand mile journey begins with the first step. Way to go.
