I haven’t updated for a while. I started blogs 2 times before this, but either fell asleep or it didn’t publish due to internet issues. So, I’ll catch you up. On Friday Shawna, Jodye and I went to 2 schools to see how they run schools here. The rest of the team dug in and [...]

Hard Day
Posted in Uncategorized on July 22, 2010 | 1 Comment »
Today was pretty much a hard day for all of us. Emotionally and physically. We all had to be up early in order to leave before 7:30 to make it to the church for a meeting of the area pastors. We had a prayer meeting with them. Before we got there, we had a stop [...]
More countries visited :)

Wow for a busy summer. I have a lot to write so I apologize for the length. But I hope you enjoy all the stories. I arrived home from India on Friday in the late afternoon. I enjoyed a relaxing evening with my mom and dad watching TV and putting my feet up (majorly swollen [...]
Differences in India & America

I’m sitting at LaGuardia airport waiting to fly to Dallas. I decided to compare the differences I’ve found from my trip. There are many differences. First I’ll start with the driving. The most obvious difference with the driving is that they drive on the left side while we drive on the right side. At first [...]

Today Shalini met me at the hotel, and we went to a place called an Indian Haat. Basically they’re booths outside that people sell their products (a lot of times handmade) from. We didn’t stay long since as soon as we visited a few booths, the heat got to us (well, mostly me). The heat [...]

So many people have asked me, and I can finally answer, yes, I have now tried McDonalds in Inida. Shalini picked up food for the team since we were working on a Saturday night (which the team told me is the first time they’ve done this since they started working here). She wasn’t sure the [...]

Today was more exciting than yesterday. Before I went to bed, I headed downstairs for breakfast. I ended up meeting another American who was here for the same reason I am. His name is Michael (no, he’s not near my age so don’t ask). We talked for a long time. He’d been here before and [...]
A little something

Not much to say today. I slept most of the day. I took my malarone without food and my stomach hurt all day. Luckily, I didn’t throw up or anything. The hotel is starting to get to know me by name, as well as the guards at the office. While waiting for the car from [...]

I found out a little over a week ago that I was going to India to train for my company. My life was already speeding ahead with a trip to South Africa planned and dogsitting my friend’s pets for 2 weeks. I’ll get back with one day to pack for africa. Hopefully get some sleep [...]
