Still in the bean!

Hey all,

So this is my first post - exciting! I am checking out this blog situation to make sure it is going to work when I'm in India! So I leave this Friday the 9th! Ah. I still am not sure if i will have a computer in India, i may only rely on internet cafes.

So here is a tentative itinerary of my trip:

Fly into Mumbai/Bombay for two days.
Travel to Hubli our main location in the state of Karnataka in the South about 5 hrs from the western ocean. Here we will be doing service learning (community service) and project development where we have 1,500 dollars - donated from NEU to give grants to already existing institutions in India.

We take a week off after we get there and go to New Delhi for DIWALI! A fantastic festival of lights - pretty much the fourth of July but lasting for over a week. The entire country shuts down for this. We will also visit agra, where the taj mahal is.

We will go back to hubli for a few weeks then off to Goa - party city, hippy hang out, vegas of India.

Then back to Hubli for a training in grassroots organizing with Indian students in a local engineering college.

Then we end in Bangalore, in the South!

Whew that was a long first post,
Well next time I write I will be in INDIA! AHHAHAHAH

ps: if any of you are interested in contacting me email me at SarahLamm89@gmail.com or facebook me. I also have a skype account SarahLamm89.

Adios muchachos,
Muchos besos y abesos,

Sarah

  2. We miss you and are glad you have this blog. Roger, Eveline, and Joanne enjoyed your Skype visit. We have made our land trip arrangements for Nov 24-Dec 7 already. I am glad that you will have seen New Dehli and Agra - Taj Mahal and Red Fort. Then we don't have to plan on taking you there in December.

    We had a great visit with Roger and Eveline in Delaware and visiting Bubbie.

    Dad
