This time tomorrow, the cases will be packed and I will be doing the neurotic note writing ritual that begins any trip where I am leaving someone at home...or will I, poor N. has heard it all before, perhaps I should simply leave him be this time...
One thing that does need to happen is "Chicken Patrol initiation". Where is Ramzi when I need him, Ramzi, chicken protector and egg collector?
My India switch has been almost permanently on this week, partly because I am excited to see my Indian friends again, but also because there are 15 of us going on the team, 11 have never been before and who will see Asha's inspirational work for the first time. I know each one will be impacted by what they see, only having heard it secondhand from us...for the last five years. Five years....little did I know what a 2 week Tearfund Transform Team would result in back in 2005.
I just know we are going to have such fun, hilarity will abound, we have a great team and I know the blogspot we have set up will give a "full on" account of what has happened every day through different eyes, so to speak! So if any of you are interested in popping in and seeing what we are getting up to here is the link:

You will hear/see how Harry the monkey (puppet)has been holding court in Tigri
Can Stuart manage to sleep...even in an auto rickshaw...?I think Tim did a couple of years back...
Who will spot the first elephant/monkey/camel/cow?
Will I really get a sari made up and wear it?
Can you tell I am just a little bit excited now? I've just re read our last blog from 2008 and laughed out loud when I read how Dennis had taken his kettle, plus all the other exploits of the week!
