Bhongir Fort is an important fort located just a few kilometers from Back2Back in India. It is situated on top of a rock hill over 500 feet high. The steps that lead to the top of this hill from the bottom are still intact. It is a popular hiking destination for people nearby, and recently, the campus children and staff went on a field trip there – the first since before COVID-19 hit India.
“Bhongir is a very physically intense hike,” shared Julie Mowery, U.S. Director for India. Corrie Guckenberger, a visiting staff member, sat down with one of the girls halfway through the hike and helped her to get up.
These outings are valuable for many reasons. They allow children to discover a part of their culture and history, and provide opportunities for staff to show their care and concern for the children. Back2Back is grateful that people step up during trips like these to remind every child that they are loved, known, and seen.
Back2Back Ministries’s post Standing in the Gap first appeared on their website.
