Meeting Workers in Zari
"During my trip I met with workers in Zari units who create exquisite brocades in fine gold and silver threads through an intricate weaving process. Many of the embroideries and embellishments that you see within our collections are done in communities that have been impacted by Magic Bus."

Playing with the Children
"Magic Bus is a non-profit organization that lifts communities in India out of poverty through the power of play. Activities for the children are created to help them look at local issues such as trafficking, sanitation, and continuing education and provides them tools to find solutions to make more informed choices."

Meeting the Families
"During my time in India, I was able to partake in one of the monthly Magic Bus parent meetings. It was an eye-opening experience meeting with the mothers of the children who are part of the organization and hear them speak about the challenges they face and how Magic Bus has positively impacted their families."
