Thank you all again for your support in helping me to raise over $4500 for Kids Helpline.
As you may know the trip I was due to go on was cancelled and I am instead heading to India to support the Anganwadi Project - a wonderful charity that designs and builds ‘anganwadi’ or pre-schools in the slum areas of Ahmedabad, India.
I am heading off on Saturday 29 November for 2 weeks that I am sure will be amazing and challenging in many ways.
We are going to trek 120km over 5 days through the through the spectacular desert landscapes of western Gujarat and spend a day or two helping a community to give a new coat of paint to one of the Anganwadi Project's pre-schools. Along the way we are also going to experience some wonderful things including spending time with local women in the village of Ludiya while they weave and embroider, visiting Dhamadka and getting to see the famous Ajrakh block-printing, which involves hand-carved teakwood blocks and going on safari in the world's last remaining refuge of the Indian Ass.
I am going to have a go at blogging during the trek (for the first time) to share my experience with you, so bear with me I am not likely to be funny or very entertaining but I hope that you get something from the blog.
Enough for now - I look forward to posting next weekend from beautiful India.
Ayela
