Hello to all our volunteers and friends old and new.
At last i am trying to get to grips with this technology now our current group of volunteers are safely delivered to Joy for the latest part of this years training. When they return they should have a good idea about life as a volunteer in Delhi! though by all accounts two of our last years volunteers - Alison and Drew have just held a stunning weekend workshop introducing them to the politics, challenges and fun of India.
Here at the Buddhist house I am catching up on emails, post, writing and the admin in between having some fascinating visitors.
Time passes so swiftly - Joy goes out to India Thursday next week for her third six months stint, this time as project leader. she will prepare things for the volunteers arrival on the 12th October and in between interview hopeful Indian volunteers.
However you are not too late to join us - I will also be holding training for any late arrivals on the Amida volunteer scheme in our French retreat centre at the beginning of January. In April there will be a short training for volunteers wishing to help at the summer camps for young people in Tamil Nadu which take place in May. Do get in touch if you are interested.
But before all this, once training is finished, I get the chance to see my son in scotland before I dissapear to the wilds of France on 15th October. Anyone wanting to visit or volunteer for a wild retreat do get in touch - modgala@amidatrust.com
Hot news - One of our old community members - Patrick, has become a proud dad so much joy all round - welcome Rosa May Kelly Browne!
