Coordinators are go!

I'm sitting in Abu Dhabi airport trying hard not to buy tiny golden camels and contemplating a foot massage. Ah the hard life of a volunteer! We fly to India in 4 hours and then have a week to get our heads into Kolkata mode before the rest of the volunteers arrive all shiny and new and excited.My to do list thus far: Meet Vikramshila partners, meet landlord, set up electricity and wifi for the house,order water supply for the house, stock upon food, buy a fridge, locate the local hospital, gp and police station, accompany the lovely coordinator Meghan on her 4hr train ride to the Sunderbans, buy sensible local clothes, plan teaching session, plan team induction, panic and perspire.

India-here I come!
