Friday 3 June 2011

Since last I sent an update it has continued to just be HOT HOT HOT in Pune.  Two days ago the ‘pre-monsoon’ rain started.  30cm Thursday and 50cm on Friday.  If this is ‘pre’ can wait for the actual ‘monsoon’!!!

Live Below the Line was awesome – thanks to everyone who sponsored me.  Together we made over $1000 for poverty education and projects – very cool!  If you didn’t get a chance to check out the 5 clips on YouTube about the experience.  If you go to…


…you can find them all!

Hope you like the pic of Oliver (my nephew)!  Kamini and I spent a 4 day weekend in Hongkong with Oliver, Dale and Yanny and of course the dogs.  It was awesome to be with them and to have some time out before the start of the busy season here at Sangam.

Volunteer training starts on Monday for the next 2 weeks – we have volunteers from Nigeria, Mexico, USA and UK.  Our first event for the season starts in the last week of June and it will be full on until the end of the season at the end of March.

In between Live Below the Line and Hongkong I spent the rest of May getting working hard on stuff like writing the Volunteer Training Syllabus and scheduling all the programmes for events in 2011/12 and even dating events for 2013/14!

Sonu, the new kitten is growing fast and likes to play with anything that moves.  She can jump about one foot directly straight up if she feels like hassling you!

Got the day off today.  Kamini, Kirti and I going to see KungFu Panda 2 – they have never been to a 3D movie.  Also, going to an exhibition of recycled products put on by one of our community partner organisations – should be excellent.

More once we’re into the season and enjoying the monsoon…

  1. Hey Jenna

    Seems like a good idea to try something new and get more information to more people. HAs the mango season been good this year? And is it still really hot?

    Good luck with the training for the volunteers.
