Random photoes
First pics from working, a coulpe from mount abu, and the two last of a visit to a deaf school that we are visiting when we have time.
Haa means Yes, Nahi - No
The last weeks have been great, working a lot and being out in the field, which means in rural areas of Rajastan. Because of the moonsoon being so recent, and lasting so long, most areas are still green and beautiful, and there are still some small rivers. Most of the year, these areas are arid and yellow, so we have come at the right time for pretty scenery.
I have divided my time so that this month is dedicated to the Balsakhi program, where I will follow young women working with neonatal and infant health and nutrition. I did so some days of the past week as well, but now i will not have any of my comentors with me, just me and Sanjay who will translate for me. Last week I spent two nights at the block office in Kotra, the area furthest away from Udaipur. Beautiful place, great people, and fun traveling with a gearscooter. I slept under the stars on my balcony there, and I am looking forward to going back!
Other than work we have had a couple of fun parties at the VB guesthouse, where a great group of volunteers live, we went to Mount Abu and got sunburned last weekend, and yesterday some of us went to lake ravi, that has crocodiles in it, swam across it and back, and got even worse sunburns. Johan and Lachlan are in Dehli this weekend, to watch games from the commonwealth games (who knew about them, hm?) and we are moving rooms, because tomorrow we are getting six new guys, one Danish volunteer, Henrik, and five Indian college guys. Will be fun!
Hindi is slowly getting somewhere, but because our teacher has fallen ill we have not had too many classes. I can say my name, where i am from and some lines from different hindi popsongs, but a conversation is still hard. Yesterday I bought a movie and my second movie soundtrack, and I am still loving my bollywood. Did i give you the link to the eighties greatest song?
Dad is coming to Goa to spent christmas with me! And so are four of the british volunteers living in VB (as is a gang of their friends), and possibly Maria from Boliva, Lachlan and Fredrik, and I also know a guy I met while traveling thats going there. So christmas in Goa looks like it will be a BIG hit. Woop whooop.
Finally got to put out some photoes, they are not amazing, but its a glimpse of whats happening.
