Namaste, everyone!
(That's "hello" in Hindi!)
This may be the quickest blog EVER… we have made it to India! My team and I have arrived in our city and have officially had orientation with the business we'll be working with, as well as at Mother Teresa's Home for the Dying, where we will be volunteering once a week. We got a tour of the city today… you name the transportation method, we took it! Train, bus, ferry, rickshaw, taxi… check, check, check, check, and check.
I absolutely love India: the clothes, the customs, the food, the social standards, the accents, the color, the culture… it's great. I can already tell it will be hard to leave this place in April! It truly is incredible.
I apologize, but for safety I need to be very vague in emails and blogs. I also will not be updating much this month due to the scarcity of internet here.
I love you all very much – I can't believe it's not butter, or that I'll be home in two short months! 🙂
Love,
Alicia
