✨ A special gathering at the University of Calcutta!

This week marked a meaningful moment for our global network. The Director of EWG Brazil, Dr. Paola Mazzilli, visited the University of Calcutta office of the EWG India. There she met Dr. Sharmistha Banerjee, further strengthening the partnership between Brazil, India and the US.

The meeting also included former Program Manager and Changemaker Lorena Marques (Brazil), former Program Assistant (US) Evie Flaugh, current Project Manager (India) Dr. Payel Roy, and Project Coordinator (India) Kankana Paul.

More than an institutional visit, this gathering represents something deeper: the friendships and community built through EWG that continue far beyond the program itself. 💛 It is inspiring to see connections that transcend cultural and geographic boundaries, bringing people, stories, and purpose together across the world. 🌍
