In this vibrant episode of Wings to Neverland, Peter and Wendy take you on an unforgettable journey through India—the land of festivals, sacred rodents, twin villages, and 1.4 billion stories. This is the second stop in our ongoing series, “12 Things You (Possibly) Didn’t Know About…”, where we explore the wild, wonderful, and little-known facts about the countries where A Chance In Life works.

Did you know India has a floating post office? Or a road where cars appear to roll uphill? Or a village with an unusually high number of twins—and no one knows why? From ancient cities and democratic superpowers to vegetarian megatrends, gravity-defying hills, and the birthplace of both chess and sugar, this episode is packed with surprises that will have you laughing, marveling, and possibly Googling “Magnetic Hill” by the end.

But beyond the fun facts and fantastical stories lies a deeper truth: India is home to millions of children growing up in poverty, many without access to education or basic safety. That’s where A Chance In Life comes in—and why this episode introduces us to Binoj, a boy from Kerala whose transformation from a withdrawn five-year-old to a confident youth leader will leave you inspired.

Through the incredible support of Savio Home—one of our local partner programs in India—Binoj found not just education, but healing, confidence, and the chance to become a mentor for others. His journey is a powerful reminder of what happens when you invest in a child’s full potential.

So whether you’re sipping chai or dodging traffic, this episode is for you. It’s a celebration of culture, resilience, and the quiet magic of opportunity.

In this special episode of Wings to Neverland, Peter and Wendy celebrate International Women’s Month by diving into the history, impact, and legacy of extraordinary women throughout time. They explore the origins of International Women’s Day and Women’s History Month, highlighting why these global celebrations matter and how they continue to push for gender equality, education, and empowerment for women and girls everywhere. Then, they embark on a fun, insightful, and inspiring countdown of the 10 most influential women in history—sharing their remarkable stories, the obstacles they overcame, and the lasting impact they left on the world. From Cleopatra’s political genius to Rosa Parks’ fearless defiance, from Marie Curie’s groundbreaking scientific discoveries to Malala Yousafzai’s relentless fight for girls’ education, this episode is packed with incredible stories of strength and resilience. Naturally, there’s some humor along the way—Peter makes a passionate argument for Tinker Bell’s inclusion on the list, much to Wendy’s dismay. But the most powerful moment comes at the end, when Peter and Wendy introduce Rehimush, a young woman from A Chance In Life’s partner program in Ethiopia.
