I shall be leaving for India tomorrow for 14 weeks to take part in the School of Peace in Bangalore. This is some thing I got to have a taster of in Bangladesh last year and loved it. Despite all my fears (and there has been some mad fears and rational fears) I know I will love every minute.
I feel extremely lucky to have this opportunity, to go to India and to work with fantastic friends I have met before and what I am sure will be amazing friends for the next 3 and a bit months. To have this opportunity after previous ones within the YMCA, I seriously couldn't wish for a better job. I have not been able to do this on my own, thanks to all those at ICF for offering me a place, Ken for helping me to get there and all the staff at Tees Valley YMCA for their amazing support.
It is terrifying to think I will not see people that I know, things that I know and my routine will be completely different, the unknown is scary! There is nothing like jumping out of your comfort zone! I will miss England and the people here but I am sure the time will fly and I will be home before I know it, if I can drag myself away (knowing me, I won't want to leave).
That's all for now, keep tuned for more posts.
See ya
