One Week to go

No less than one week till I’m off to India! I had my final vaccination this morning so I'm now invincible to anything and everything. I also started packing today and discovered my bag is too small, even though I'm travelling light - good thing I started early! Just a small amount of shopping left.
I had a meeting with Gap Guru a couple of weeks ago and now know where I'm living; with Sarah, a 72 year old social activist (president of a local hospital, spokeswoman for YWCA
Chennai, counsellor for an AIDS charity...) and Chada, her 60 year old maid. I'm told they have a pool in the garden, very nice and I'm sure I'll be in it every day! I'm also in touch with the project and putting together a programme with them for my work. And it looks like I've already been recruited as a church organist!
Next message will be from sunny
Chennai!
