I had my initial meeting today with the organization I'm volunteering for. All the logistics have been discussed, scheduling and timing have been discussed and my battery is currently charging in preparation.
I start actually working Thursday at 7:30 AM and from the sounds of it, this project will take at least a couple weeks if not possibly the whole month that I'm here. I'm excited and looking forward to it. And it's nice to finally put a face with the organization.
I'm to report to the volunteer building at 7:30 and then we'll make our way to the specified school for the day and theoretically, I'll be back in Calcutta by noonish. Not a long day, but I have a feeling it'll be very intense. These are slum schools. I'm going to be seeing a side of India I haven't seen yet. And I have a feeling no amount of preparation will really prepare me for what I'm about to see. I'm excited!
