Welcome to Fabulous

After 28 hour journey we arrived in Trivandrum in Kerala South India. It was 7.00pm on Sunday evening and we were greeted at the airport by Mr Paulson from the Kerala YMCA Regional Office. After a short but hectic journey we arrived at the YMCA and were greeted by the President of YMCA Kerala and a host of other YMCA lay leaders and staff. It was only a matter of minutes before we were shown to our rooms and immediately taken out to dinner with the assembled group.

In the main group to meet us was the National General Secretary of the YMCA in India. We were extended a very special Indian welcome prior to eating. After an absolutely wonderful evening, it was off to bed which for me was a very restless slumber.

I am not going to say anything further here about the visit, rather I want to let those participating in the Discovery Visit to contribute their verses during the coming days.

The Discovery Group has jelled like a dream, the engagement is incredible, the sensitivity is wonderful and I suspect that what they are experiencing so far during this past few days will prove to be life changing.

There is a deep vein of care, love, humility and support evident with ‘YMCA People’, apparent in all those who are being touched by this visit.

It is my immense privilege to be  #standingontheshouldersofgiants
