Arrival in Mumbai felt so strange! I was so tired and scared, but so excited at the same time.
I was met at the airport and taken to the train station. The train
journey was so scary but exciting; I was so sleepy but didn’t want to
sleep. There was a guard who constantly shouted Chai, Coffee and I even
heard him shout baked beans!
When I arrived at
Pune station I really didn’t know what to expect but Suvarna (the
Pune rep) was waiting for me. Suvarna is lovely she is so wonderful.
I see her most days as I work with Paddy who is staying with her. She is
very friendly and warm and in fact her whole family are extremely warm
people. I arrived on the Friday evening and on the Sunday I met Paddy
and we went to a place called Sims where there was a theatre which
Akanksha was using for an event called ‘Sunshine Around The World’.
Despite the jet lag it was a really fun day and I got to meet every one
at Akanksha and also many children. Sunshine Around the World was an
event which the school where I am volunteering held. The children of the
eight centre’s learnt about one of eight different countries and
performed a dance and also a play from their chosen country. It was so
exhausting however it was a perfect way for me to get stuck in and also
meet everyone. It was an experience not to be forgott
