Foraging in Rural India- Mushrooms and Plants

On this episode of Mushroom Wonderland we head to the complete opposite side of the world to a place called Visakhapatnam, India- actually to a small village about 45 minutes outside of the city, and we forage wild plants and mushrooms with some helpful locals, girls of an orphanage, who were more than excited to help us out.
This is at an orphanage called 'Children of Faith,' a place that houses 120 kids ranging from 5 years old, to in their 20's. Most of the kids that live here are from very poor villages that do not offer decent education and most are from broken families. This place offers them a good education, meals, housing, and lots of love. This organization runs on donations from people like you, if you would like to contribute to the cause, you can at the link right here..

We were so honored to get to know these kids, especially the main 4 girls in this video, Harika, Enusha, Ramia, and Lakita. We really wish them the best and we know they will go far in life. We also had amazing hosts who fed us the local cuisine and showed us around, and taught us about the local traditions. Anand and Rosie run the orphanage and do a great job of it, the kids love them and all 120 of them call them 'mommy and daddy.' It really is a great thing they have going.
Join us as we walk out near the rice and okra fields to discover what's growing in this area of Mushroom Wonderland!
