Two more weeks..

I have now finished all the essays for semester 1. 2009!! What an incredible feeling. What makes it better is the fact that in two weeks I am going to India with my lovely friend Diana! We are going to Jaipur in Rajasthan where we will volunteer and help kids rescued from child labour for 3 weeks. It's amazing - i knoow! So, first we will land in Delhi and then take the train for about 4 hours to Jaipur! It will be an amazing way to see some of India's landscapes and nature! When we get there we will meet up with the volunteer coordinator and he has booked a guesthouse for us in Jaipur which we will stay in for a couple of days while travelling around Jaipur with our private rickshaw (the guy on the bike with us in the back). I cannot wait to experience all the spices, smells, cotton clothes, camels, elephants, palaces, tigers, incents and YOU NAME IT! However, we are mainly going there to volunteer which will be amazing. We are living in a 'dorm' I would call it with other female volunteers, however it will not be that many volunteers there which is somehow good because then we will have more work to do! The days start with a yogalesson with the kids in the morning, keeps on going with some english learning and maybe some talks about environmental awareness and human rights (for the older kids). Then it's just play and fun and footbal and exploring on the agenda, finishing the day with meditation. I cannot imagine all the beautiful kids we will meet and get to know - it will be amazing and I will probably be a changed person when I get back. I am going to take millions of pictures and maybe write an article about it which I will put up here on the blog (or sell to Time magazine or National Geographic.. hahaha).

Cheers,
