Off to India!
Back to India...I'm halfway there, sitting at the london airport on internet....it's a brutal trek over...20 hours flying and then time on layover...ugh; I'm getting a bit old for this.
I'm flying into Delhi, 2 days before my class arrives. The FSD staff in India are handling all the logistics of the 3 week class on poverty and inequality. Namrata and Anna are meeting me in Delhi and then Siddhartha will be meeting up with us the 2nd week in Jodhpur. It's been about 2 years since I was in India and I'm very excited to be returning to this amazing country.
We will start in Delhi, visit Agra and Fatepur Sikri...then a week in Jodhpur where we'll visit the NGOs of Pratham and Gravis...and do service projects in Mandore, just outside Jodhpur. Then we'll spend a weekend in Jaiselmer on the edge of the Thar dessert, followed by about 8 days in Udaipur, where FSD is based. There we will visit some of FSD's partner organizations, stay with host families, and do service projects in youth development and microfinance.
My hubby Mark will be joining me at the end of the class and then we'll spend 10 days traveling around, volunteering, and then leaving from Mumbai...there I'll be visiting IDA India, and animal welfare partner of IDA in Marin county.
We'll that's it for now....once I'm in India I'll post some of the adventures I'm sure we'll encounter!
