Worrying Night Sweats

The three hurdles ...

... are finally made.
First hurdle: buy property ... we did two weeks ago. However, it was all very spectacular. The notary reads, one nods and signs. Done. A hefty bill is not yet fluttered into the house ... grace period is probably over Christmas: o)
Second hurdle: find a bank that join in your ideas. But that was no problem. Search, find, yesterday signed.
And now number three: find one you think is trustworthy developer. This decision, we have indeed now makes it really hard. We have written in the last blog, we are looking for since August. Who would have thought that we need until mid-December to get all wrapped up?? But at the time, it is also not at all. Much more important is to know that we are satisfied with our decision and trust the developers can. Both are true (at least for the moment) fully agree.
was of course the two of us in the run constantly queasy to Mute. Let's do the right thing? Is it the right builder? Have we thought of everything? Questions, questions ... whether we have thought of everything, is in the course of of next year out of place.
The next steps will now be led by our developers in the way so that we have between Christmas and New Year's already talking with the architect.
We are excited about what we expect from now on ... apart from the bills that funny way now find their way here (thanks to the town of Bad Salzuflen, o)
starts now for us the peaceful Advent and Christmas and then we start full of enthusiasm in the new year: o)
In this sense, we wish all our friends, relatives and friends and all who follow our blog: Merry Christmas and a happy new (construction) year 2011: o)))

Directions To Play Chicken Feet Dominos

children, how time flies ...

And once again a meeting with our developers passed ... and again we are a bit smarter ... and again we need to clarify something.
Who would have thought it so hard is a reasonable contract, including construction and specifications to be on the legs, I did not.
But all the work will pay off so hope soon and I am hopeful to sign that we can make it before Christmas the contract: o)))

when you consider that we are actually in mid-October to sign everything and wanted it December is now the first ... one wonders where the time is just. Hopefully pass the next weeks until the start of construction so fast ... and then it should have also been snowing, so that we do not have to dig a hole in the snow for our basement. : O)

Best Antibiotics For Bronchial Pneumonia

time has come ...

no, Santa has not brought any presents ...

... Today, the contract for the property is signed.

Whether I should be happy now, or rather cry, I do not own at the moment, because even then there is no turning back. Let us send it to us once.
is yes then anscheind a long time to happen. At least nothing visible. 8-12 weeks will pass before the land really belongs to us. Long time, no problem, all the weathermen predict he environment before the coldest Winter than ever. And yes us, no one rushes. As long as I next year Christmas in my house and Christmas tree sitting in front of carmine, all is well: o))

On Tuesday we were also the first time in our surveyor Mr. Wirsching Brock. We did not know exactly what to expect, but the list is to change so long that we have not thought of. I have fine records every point so that we may again be issued to Mr. Weather in Bad Salzuflen, to again go through everything with him.
I very much hope that Mr bet not tip over just after, when we are again with 'some' questions on the mat.

We verteiben us the time to next appointment Christmas Market Visit and bake cookies: o)

Fixing Shake Flashlight

something new

But do not worry: we have not already thrown all our ideas about the pile o)
Even though the company Town & Country come to meet us with a new Angebt much. It remains to OWL Massivhaus .
Why? This is quite simple: the total package is satisfied.

given a very good one by Mr. betting advice from the company OWL massive house.
Even though we already had some requests in terms of layout and special features, he always had time yet again a new and especially better idea.
things of which we had passed long ago, than for other property developers were anscheind impossible hurdles raised by him and enthusiastically from us.
He just brings a huge documented library, which has convinced us.
Whether moving walls, shower walls, blinds equipped with seat belts or, and this is the blockbuster, a "socket-Flatrate": o))) for an amount X, there are so many outlets in the house as we do ... and as we have said so far all the clients, they would be too little fit, we can do to calm the planning of the sockets.
One can say that attempts to satisfy every wish of the owners and he is still so far-fetched ... (I think, on the straps for my blinds o)))
We feel very good advice from Mr. Weather or care and are curious as to the construction phase will continue.

But now to the "new" ... we have decided to incorporate our air heat pump with underfloor heating a supplementary heating.
Why this?
Very simple ... a little bird has chirped to us that probably needs our winter heating assistance from current boyfriend.
Since electricity is not exactly known, but cheap and do not expect even with falling prices, we do not do ourselves a favor and "auxiliary heater.
The only question is 'how'?
because we actually 2 alternatives have been identified: a gas boiler or a pellet stove ... since you say both possibilities can not, how is the price level in the next few years, a decision is of course very difficult. Now my uncle
comes into play ... he suggested we take a water-bearing pellet stove .
The advantage here: the furnace is heated to a residential area in which the heater is (ie living room), on the other is simultaneously heated water (which is in the oven and is connected to the water cycle in the house). In short: you get a hot ass and take a shower can be very hot; o)
This possibility seems to us quite reasonable, you might say well, we were both very excited yesterday: o)
This must be said, however, that we want to have a stove anyway, but also the brick fireplace (optional) in the living room. Thus we had two birds with one stone, for a special oven priced to course costs more than a "normal" oven, but is contradicted by the gas heater, you must purchase first and second, we also need a gas connection. Technically, we are cost-effective with pellet stove, at least in terms of cost.
course there are disadvantages to such a furnace: the flame is (according to Klaus and the Internet) 'different' ... How else can we say about the time yet because we have seen a pellet stove has never been in action ... but that will probably change in 2 weeks.
major advantage of the pellet stove: it can be off by remote control and: o))) So, no hassle of refilling the timber, but not a simple operation from the sofa (we're lazy or something, o) was very impressed Benny yes, that one thing on a daily basis can be precisely adjusted and it is even possible to control the mobile phone (provided it has such a high-tech mobile phone) Great gadget: o)))
Exactly how it goes, will determine when We have seen the oven times live.

There is but one more milestone in the next week: on Thursday will be signed before a notary for the land ... 3rd .. 2 .. 1 .. MINE!!

Also in regards Surveyors, we have made smart and chose a supplier ... Wißbrock the Lord will accompany us during construction. (Thanks to the recommendation of Rina and Paddy: o)

Safe Copy Of Blue Harvest

The first photos

our land: o) Unfortunately the sun did not appear, but at least I have found a date on which it is not raining.
They even need much imagination to get a house here on it present, as in the photo the land looks much smaller than it really is. The
So the parcel No. 9: a corner lot. Where you have to say that to be erected on the corner still 4 public parking spaces that our garden is not directly adjacent to the street. It also has the advantage that our guests always have a beautiful park: o)


a street name is not yet unfortunately. While there were already made proposals to the city, but has decided there's no one.
now there are also only two houses in the construction area. One can see in the image pretty well: yellow house with red roof. The other house is white with a dark roof. So far, therefore a visually beautiful neighborhood.

Psoriasis And Swoolen Glands

Our first plan

because our advisor to OWL massive house, Mr. W. has already mailed all the necessary documents for the bank. This course was also a floor plan: o)) finally no Rough Paper with wild changes, but just on paper as we would like.

The upstairs bathroom so far is only a draft, because we still are not sure whether such a T-piece in the bathroom there is enough space.
living room / dining room, kitchen, utility room and guest bathroom stay that way.

The basement is also changed somewhat, because only 3 rooms have been scheduled. A storage room, a space for washing machine and a party room: o) (with proof of a particularly high level are to ensure that our bar because they fit in)


The joy of our decision is also from day to day higher, but really I still can not believe it yet. This is determined only if it is "right" to start.

Is Ringworm Bumped Or Flat

Hurra ... we decided

The decision for a developer we have made: it is OWL massive house from Bad Salzuflen.
After two very informative talks, and not least a great offer for our house fell on Tuesday night the decision.
BUT ... Pure joy? Not really, which is now so slow until I felt myself for the hundredth time I read through the offer, o) for it to become larger by the minute.
A property we have now been some time in the eye, but here was yesterday (for now) decided the purchase with a handshake. There is space within the coverage No.9 "Nien Heather" in the old wooden door road Holzhausen. Centrally located and yet a quiet spot.
The most important thing probably still missing: the love of money, but again, we have found a solution that is called: Sparkasse Lemgo.
It sounds all so easy, but you can say that so far but a bumpy road was and we actually made a decision right light (which is what happens when one is so security obsessed o)
The next steps are to fill requests, contracts signed and in the distant future: the samples * grumble * but you should yes to keep the most beautiful thing ever for last.
What followed can finally have pictures and photos: o) so that can make all a picture of our house: o)

A Teaching Plan For Diabetic Teaching

proposal makes sense of life: organ donation card

We as a university group fun and socializing in the student parliament at the University of Osnabrück this time recommend to the general life improvement: The organ donor card. For years we wanted to present a state party to the opening of the semester and the reception of Erstis in the Stadthalle-hall, where it would find bits and pieces also given organ donor cards - but there were no people for this honorable activity. Similarly, for blood donation by the LHG - so proclaimed blood donation appointment of LHG - we wanted to distribute these passes. But it was nothing so far. SB RAS you need nu.
you fail once the liver or kidneys, you'd also be glad to find such an organ donor. One need not leave everything out, and snip off. Of course you can upload your crown jewels as inseparable, thus unspendbar left after your death on Rumpgkörper - everyone thinks somehow in life after death, where one would not want to miss certain parts of the body ^ ^

How Do I See My Moms Boobs

sprint ... (At least for the house selection)

is now almost the October around and still is not clear which house we are building (to be or do whatever always).
full of energy Benny compares continue our offers and you can really tell already that we are familiar gradually with good heating, construction, and what there is to consider everything as a house construction.
But my patience is so slow to the end and we will look at today, a T & C's house and tomorrow can still make an offer of one (one can hardly believe it) other property developers.
We were indeed not so aware that there are so many property developers in OWL but for solid construction: o))

Recently we have also taken an energy consultancy in Verbaucherzentrale to complete. This is really recommended, because you get for little money for a lot of information and it is known that they want to sell you anything. Thank you on this path once again to the nice gentleman from the VZ Bielefeld.

Help gabs by two lawyers, so we least a bit by looking through our contracts. (The fact that we also always have to be so suspicious, o))) Now we can at least write a good conscience our contracts.
a nice greeting this even at SW-W. and KP.W

A plot is indeed now been found at last and it will also change on our specially-desired size. Thus, there are 520qm (20mx26m) and we are now considering how we can sit on a house there. Apropro home ... since we had our previous considerations, unfortunately, are completely to the ground. But we do not give up, now you continue on a conversation with a developer.

We have chosen a plot: a corner lot in Holzhausen. * Smile * First, it is of course reserved, but the rest we work.
The site is located in a new housing development on the old wooden houses, road, not far from my parents house. Photos to follow of course: o) It is great to 500sqm and we can also build our dream house on it.

The so-called ideal home our Squirrels is still looking for the best nuts. So there is nothing new to report yet.

but the banks are very busy ... and we collect more offers and compare ... We actually do anything else.
More dates are tomorrow, Tuesday and Thursday.

BUT ... Despite all this, and perhaps because of it, makes you look even more thoughts on possible facilities and of course the garden * gg *

In addition to these "important" little things give us my scale drawing course also provides information about how and where we can put our house on the property.

Bally Bingo Pinball For Sale

The heads are spinning ... Next date

Who would have thought that it is so difficult to pick out a house.

am now totally confused me: underfloor heating or floor heating, heating with photovoltaic system, a gas-fired heat recovery boiler or would you prefer? It must be all for now work on you and compare. The latter makes Benny by means of a carefully laid table. : O) so slowly out of the jungle but in a garden.

The site selection has, however, has not shown further. Although we often get mail from real estate agents, it also appeared that our "wishes" somehow did not take seriously. The offers were at the other end of the position, or at least in Schötmar ... * * Ztztzt

Our appointment at the bank had to be postponed yet, so again, "long" wait is announced ... to 23:09:10.

How Long Does Flagyl Take To Work For Trichomosis

and again something clever.

After a long wait finally came Tuesday.
with great expectations, we are therefore driven to Bad Salzuflen, to enable us to plan a house of Mr. A..
saw anything really great on the screen from the house. (The price: o) BUT ... (Of course, that was bound to happen so ...) we were asked for our wishes. Since we also occurred regardless of what floor heating, blinds and how it would be for a fireplace?! Ah yes, the basement may indeed not be missed! Common, it was, of course, highly visible on the screen of the laptop is a small window with a large number of vieeeel And that was still growing. Insolence.
far so good (we thought) ...
goes in the financial planning yes, then a property with one. So let's assume there's a lot that is also affordable. Suddenly there are still costs such as house connection costs, for a Private and and and ... I was there (Nicole) first flat.
I saw the cases have been swimming since the greater was the number again. Well, the head We're now in the sand ... So wait for the first time, perhaps there's still a positive turn: o)
At the end of our little bill and felt 5 hours later then the result: Benny was precisely with its cost estimate to our dream home. Perfect! : O)))
What is missing now? EXACTLY ... a plot of land. Unfortunately, there is not much to report since new. In Leopoldshöhe Asemissen and there's nothing that we like. Times interferes with a church next to the property, even a sports field; o) But We still have two irons in the fire ... So wait again. In contrast, Holzhausen several properties for sale that would be interesting for us.
So we will now have to wait again. (The word "waiting" is fighting the way, now using the word "special equipment" at the cost of the "word of the year: o)))

Bosley Lasercomb Used With Rogaine

everything is hard ...

not only from this page: o)

There is now no longer a secret that Benny and I want to build our own little kingdom. With this site we want to give all friends and interested parties an insight into our project, so all the small successes and their opposites are pursued by you.

We are very happy your comments: o))

State of the Art:
Benny and I want to build a 1.5 storey detached house. Our plan to live in the Garden of Benny's parents for us seems unreachable. So we are now looking for a suitable property for us. In particular, it is in Asemissen, Leopold height or Holzhausen lie.

thoughts about our "villa", we have also done it. In the more choice there have been houses of the developers "Viebrock" and "Town & Country" made it. Now it is, seek and compare deals.

Y Wing Pinewood Derby Car

The last hours in the project

It is just 3 clock at night and I sleep really should, because a long exhausting journey to expect. But it is my last night in my familiar surroundings and who fail I will not, plus there are still so many things I still want to do here like to be able to finish well.
But before I write about the farewell, I will describe to you briefly what in recent weeks has been going on:

In the last blog I told you about my first love Class reported that I have stored. On the first day when I stopped going to class, were the faces of the children very sad and a teacher explained to them what is the reason that I no longer teach in them. After the hour came them all to me and apologized many times. I saw in their faces that they have learned an important lesson already, but I was still waiting from a few days. Then I took it back. I led a Smile-list. Thus, every child received after the hour in a list or a smiling a sad smile, of course it raises the very motivation. Also have understood a lot and the teaching was much more pleasant.

was in the other classes, the biggest problem that many children go into the villages to their relatives. Then you are missing often and miss 2-3 weeks of course important lessons. Otherwise I am very satisfied with my class because we always different experiences of success had. In recent weeks, it was sometimes very hot again. That makes it really difficult that can focus the children. On days I try to mediate to them through various games the material, so they find it easier.

Last Wednesday we had done before the final exam with our classes. The results were almost all pretty good. But it is always exciting to see how much the children really know then.

Well and soon after the exam was allowed to enter the Friday, our last day of school. In the morning I shall still quite normal, of course, a bit more freely than usual in the afternoon there was a sending-off of the school program. The children danced and sang for us, we told them a few last words (in Telugu ) and they gave us drawings. Also said a few kids a little about us. About me said a first Graders something. His last words were "I am very sad because the Sister's", and then he burst into tears. But mostly the boy was crying from the 1st Class, with whom I had annoyed me most but to which I have perhaps built up by such a close relationship.
But the farewell program was not only our students but also our old students. Nice to see that they all come to say goodbye to us. One guy told us that he was with the final reviews of the best in its class, and another former students was second. I'm really proud that our students are so good.

We also had as early as Thursday a farewell program with many dances in Sabbavaram. It was wonderful to see again all the boys and it was very difficult Ihen from adopting because it was a close relationship with many of them.

On Saturday we said goodbye in the meeting by the staff, which was really touching, because everyone said something about us and many people had written to his face that they are not just as colleagues but more miss than friends. Me we go the same way that I'll miss some great friendships.

Today, Sunday, was then the worst Farewell, namely in the Shelter. Since we live in the same house and have spent every afternoon, and all the free days and weekends, festivals and celebrations together, we have built a brotherly relationship with the boys and it is very difficult to have them back. It is uncertain if and when I'll ever see. But it is wonderful to see how much we could achieve this year.
Now it's time to simply reap the fruits of our nurmehr work, for others it is unfortunately late.
A boy said to me today, "Sister you no Austria going, you in my heart fixed." Yes, here come the tears, but also a lot of gratitude for the time together.
the evening we went with the boys still play cricket together. Tomorrow we will spend even an afternoon with them and in the evening, we go by train to Hyderabad and soon even in the direction of Austria.

I can hardly say that feeling now prevails. On one hand I am very sad about the departure and I will miss very many people on the other hand I am very grateful for all the experiences, moments, encounters, and especially for the people here, which my friends and brothers were.


I thank all who have read my blog again and again for your interest.
In particular, I thank you also to my family and my friends who have supported me with my projects and I always stood by side. THANK YOU!

So in a few days I'm back with you. 'm Very curious what all to expect.


The last time all love Greetings from the beautiful, colorful India!

Dune Buggy Street Legal For Sale Ontario

broke the last month

Since the last blog entry was already a lot going on. We had very special visit in July. It came Volontaerinnen namely the 3 who were in the past year in our project. It was nice to see some way how much respect there even after a year. It was also very interesting for us to speak with them and exchange experiences, but also to speak about changes in time. So that the whole was even more exciting, came then another 2 Volontaerinnen from Vijayawada. It was really nice to be together and we held many talks designating span.
was also exciting for the kids it suddenly to have lost 7 Sisters. Only 6 of us went together to Sabbavaram and there we made together a Gelaendespiel with the boys. We set off by 6 clock in the morning as possible in order to be soon in the project and to be able to spend much time with them. Unfortunately we had to flow with the weather really bad luck and it was raining in. Especially during the game it was raining most. But we got nothing from it, so I ran and the children of slack wax and mud in the rain from one house to another and back again and go back. It was really and truly does not matter very much funny. In the afternoon, it became even a little sunny and in the evening we played football still working. It's been another wonderful day in Sabbavaram and the boys had a lot of fun and we are anyway.

suffer the shelter at the time the outdoor games under various conditions. On the one hand, the weather is a problem because it always raining heavily and we allowed a few days then re-entering the room, or standing water on our place and we play something in the slack wax. Another problem is that the place where we not heard us play and we can thus control not much yourself. As it happens, for example, that lie for some weeks on the half-square mound of earth so that we do not properly can play. The sport would be as important for the lads because they sit all day and are in the house, but unfortunately it is somehow impossible to buy a place.
Due to the new Father in the Shelter somehow a very different atmosphere, which comes to us in good stead. We thus have more time to speak and freedom with the boys, or just fool around. I enjoy so much being with them. Thus, many nice conversations, or even eye contact. They are easy for me my little brothers and I'm really very fond. The idea that in a few weeks I can not just go quickly over to them, makes me very sad.

In school I had this week a somewhat difficult situation. The 1st Class was to teach has always been very difficult for me because it is just really difficult language and the children are very young and so much more language would be necessary. For these and other reasons I have decided this week the first Class to create and do not teach anymore because it really was not as good as it ran. The children responded really with a lot of guilt and apologized a thousand times. They ask me every day even now, when I come back to teach them. Unfortunately you have to just simply learn the lesson that it has consequences if they do not listen. Another problem with the thing is the relationship I have with the children. I'm just not an Indian teacher who taught with much more authority. The children know this, unfortunately, probably not, so they do not make it, that they bring me with about as much respect as the other teachers because they are so afraid of me. This clash of two educational worlds. In the higher classes, this is not Problme because they are already mature, but the first love Class simply too young to think so far. Now they have to do without it, they will be taught by me, but learn that their actions have consequences.
will run it at school quite well. I am always happy about new students who throw my whole concept confused. No, not because they are so bad but because they simply are on a completely different level than other students. A good example is my 4th Class that I teach in mathematics. I have students who multiply double digits with no problems, some learning mulitplizieren double figures, others are learning the basics, well, and then comes a dear new student and I discovered that she has the basics do not know, somehow it says minus nothing and with a plus they also do not know what it is to begin. Finally I discovered then that it is 5 in mirror writing. Puh yes and that is a 10 year old girl. Kinda sad really, but that such children will indeed catch our school. We have now 2 in the Put class and who knows, perhaps she learns quickly and has hidden knowledge, for often it is only a matter of freshening and repetition. Even in English it is exciting, because some children in the 2 Class can read English, and others write in such a way so that you can not decipher the words, because they can write the letters correctly. But really a brilliant and good challenge for me. In addition, it brings so many feelings of success with it.

Another nice feedback, our old students who go to public school now. Namely if they even have a day off, then more and some come to our school and some even sit in class and to learn with. Some even say that they returned to our school want to because that is better than the new one. Yes really nice that they felt so comfortable with us, but still nice that they are now in a public school.

Yesterday I was called by the principal in her office. When I got there, waited a former student (Monica) and her sister to me. The parents of the two ladies are both died from AIDS (if I remember correctly). The two now lives with his aunt and uncle, who own three children. The family actually had a house, but due to financial problems they had to rent it. You have not even reserve a space, but have built on the roof of a small sheeting, by now the 5 children and 3 adult life. Since they have financial problems such, I have given them some money (which I have received from relatives and friends-thank you), which bought the head teacher school uniform, school bag and books added. Yesterday, the two then a girl with a letter, a drawing and a fruit were there for me. It was so nice to see the two as they are grateful that they can go to school. On the other hand, it has also hurt me because the face of Monica just looks very thin. It is amazing how financial problems of a family can pull down a child.
My admiration for these children is enormous. Monikar was always the one who brought the Hausuebung every day, and that very beautiful, she came every day to school, was in my English class a really good student. And now that I know her background, I really wonder how they do that, but it makes me confident that once they can have a better future.

I used the blog never to raise donations, but once I want to mention it.
I have in this year many people become acquainted with good plans and lots of motivation and heard many ideas and also made himself a lot of dreams and ideas. But unfortunately, it is fact that a lot of really fail for financial reasons. No money at every turn. For example, in Sabbavaram (our Palm Project) is just two buildings to be built. One of them may later once the home for 150 or even 200 are boys. The construction work vorran very slowly. Among other things, the problems fianziellen a big Mitgrund for it.
If someone wants to give something, or has a project that brings together the donations, or have other creative ideas on how my project can komen in donations, I would be happy. My principle is always kind of "money does not make you happy." Unfortunately, it is so that money is necessary in many situations to create a good foundation.

Every small contribution is extremely important because only way to create great!



My time here is nice and slowly to a close. There are now less than 4 weeks. Internally, gehts rund in me when I think of it. Somehow
is a year, not so long. I can now somewhat Telugu, I am settled in India, I know the project, the people around me, people know me .... and I also know myself better. So it would be much better than just perfect to have much effect and I would also like to. But it was a year of planning and it's probably a good thing. I'm already beautiful before slowly to the finish and goodbye. The land, the people around me, everyday life, but especially the children are so dear to my heart. It is difficult to leave it all behind me here. Therefore, I somehow in my head is not very much room to prepare myself for Austria again. But of course There are also some things again that I am back in Austria.

But now I concentrate more fully on my work. Incidentally, yesterday I already started to pack my suitcase, so I get in the end no stress.

So in summary ... I feel very good and I still enjoy my last time here in India.


I hope you all enjoy the summer. Looking forward to seeing you again!!


love all Greetings from the beautiful India

Why Wear An Underwear Singlet

everyday trips

Since a few days, I am me again to write a blog post, well, then today is exactly the right weather to ... it was pouring ... ... It has now somehow starting the rainy season, or at least a harbinger of it. So it has been raining all week, but today it really pours right the whole time, so the street full of water and it is difficult to come to school, would also come in this weather anyway little kids, so today at our school without classes. Also on Monday
was already enough going on in school, because on this Days on strike across India because of high oil prices. The public schools, as well as shops and much more remained closed. Furthermore, no buses and drove very few outos. In the morning we managed to get a Outo .... Although we were during the trip about 4 times stopped by people with sticks, but we had some important people sitting in uniform in our Outo, so they let us pass forever. At noon it was really all paralyzed. Luckily, just an employee at the school, me and Betty was then brought to the scooter in the pouring rain back home. I have not seen this ever, the whole road was empty. Outos No, no people, no buses.

Last week, Betty, Eli and I three days in Vijayawada visit the other Volos and look at the project there. It is a really big and well-organized project, really nice. You notice the difference to our simple, as it has existed for 25 years, our project is less than 5 years old. After the nice three days in Vijayawada, we took the train to Hyderabad. There we visited other Volos, looked at a few sights, visited our former Father and then we brought Eli to the airport, unfortunately, as their three-week visit was over and she flew back to Switzerland. On Saturday, Betty and I drove back 14 hours by train. We took this time a place to sleep, because it's really much more comfortable and the time goes really fast. It was a nice trip, but it's always nice to come home again.

Well if I do not just travel and also makes us the rain does not thwart, then I have been teaching in the school. Now sounds as if it would be rare, but do not worry I've been there often enough. The 2nd
And 3 Class I teach again in English. Although there are many students, teaching actually works very well, but we have to have something together and I have the children learn better. Unfortunately, this is often very difficult, because few children really come every day, there are many who are holding back sometimes and then not longer.
The first love Class Teach I also in English and she really steal a lot of nerve. Even when I'm alone in the class until they are at times quiet and all sit in her place. Of course, many are often not, so sometimes I have five students, then wiedermal more than 15, crazy. The next big problem arises when I want them copying something. I then walk about 10 minutes until everyone around a notebook or a small table and has a matching pin and then to really write off all is somehow my patience and the time already over. But I can teach them a bit already and if it's just that sometimes they finally sit quietly and simply write off what. Usually I prepare now before Worksheets, because in fact they are all work quietly and diligently, and even make the worksheet because it makes them so fun, 2 or 3 or even 4 times. The beauty is, when the hour is over, no matter what was in the hour, the children laugh and run around and hug me, talk to me, smile at me and I can not just be evil.

Well, my dear 4th Class. It consists of 2-3 boys and 5 Maedler. The boys multiply and divide as the world champion and I am already at the superior to what I can do with them yet. The girls and (so around 12 - 14 years) struggling just starting with subtractions. About 3 weeks I have explained some of them, as expected minus works at all. Meanwhile, we already do it with 10 below and reckon with the help of fingers (Traderjob kind of funny when the fingers come in calculations because the number is greater than 10, then just the toes are used for further calculations). The girls have probably helped in recent years at home in the household and also fear that their future is therefore, means that they will be married soon and are likely to be mothers and housewives. But I'm currently really happy that they all come regularly to school and are genuinely motivated to learn. In addition, you notice her age at maturity, so they do not hit all the time and take away any of the pins to each other and they even have pen and notebook with (ok a notebook in which all specialties and breadth be written, but no matter), so the teaching does with them after I am always well before the first Class was amused.

What else was going on ... at 25.6. We went with our Father one day in a tribal area. Soon in the morning we left we went out with the jeep from the city, where there are many villages and then up a mountain by seemingly untouched nature. When we got there was up a really large village with many shops, schools and of course people. First, we found ourselves at the famous caves are there. Then we wanted to watch a tribal museum, but it was closed. So we drove back down the mountain a piece and went there a village. There have sisters a house in which they teach children from tribal families and give them accommodation and so on. These children then live there for a year and then they come in other projects, then all the boys come to us. So we have seen the house where most of our guys have spent a year. The Sisters know the families of our boys, so it was very interesting to talk with them and to learn more about the family background. Some of them come from villages as to which one often 2, 3 or even 4 hours walk must walk. Go to the house of one must be even about 8 hours, really unbelievable for us. In many of these Doerfter so many parents have an alcohol problem, as they make themselves and which alcohol be dependent. The life of this pristine nature seems very nice and easy, but I think it is very hard and very difficult. Some of our boys spent many years in different homes, there is absolutely not at home schooling is often possible.

Unfortunately, many of them not aware of the importance of education for them is, therefore, are already running some of them. A few bigger guys but we have been informed about it and for some, I know that they can go from home to school. Of course, the school was not as good, and it is questionable whether they will go at all, but I just have to trust that they will get their way. The married Young is unfortunately also gone home. I then learned that he lives not far away from a big village and it so is not a problem for him to go to school and he has also promised that he will go. Well probably, and it is for him to live truly the best at his wife. Despite all the hope I then feared as recently learned that he did not go to school, but working from home and probably animals guards or the like. Yes it makes me sad, but it's part of life here.

Another problem that prevails among the tribals, which we have heard but only in recent weeks, are the Maoist (freedom fighter). They live everywhere in the jungle, so in the villages of our Triablburschen too. It even once said that there is too dangerous for us to visit the villages. I've been genuinely unaware that the Maoists are so close and so active. Currently in the newspaper every day on the first page an article about an action of the Maoists or the police against them. What shows me how dangerous they really are showing me the fact that the police in cold blood just shoots once they find one. That sounds scary and it is so, but do not worry they will never come to town. It is also an issue that only shows up for me just because I was informed about it, but the Maoists have been living here for 40 years in the forests and are always kind of active.

My time here is more like something the late, two months can pass as real as in flight. From the beginning of September I will be back in the country.
I try to enjoy the last time and I'm still curious how it will be back in Austria. Honestly, I have to say, however, that I have some fear of parting, as I many people here are very close to my heart and I do not know when I will see her again. Moreover, the transition back to Austria is certainly not so simple, but no matter ... I think now too much about it, but am still here.

Sodalala so much of the news from me. I am superior to me now the ultimate intention for me the children of the first Class in the grip get (even among other things, so I can show my teacher colleague that there are other ways than a stick for the children to calm down. Unfortunately, they are currently plugging better off than me. Refer principally eh rather not to , but the children know that there is a possibility that they will be beaten, so they are quiet. But I'll do it now, hopefully with educational resources without having to pay them inspire fear).

I wish you all wonderful and relaxing vacation. Kind regards Martina



Have also uploaded two videos. At the wrap party for our old students, all teachers said they have about something. Some have also talked about me. Two Videos and I gave up loading ... the two Maedl it presented in their best English. I'm really proud of them:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QeYC0X9W9o


And something funny I as an attachment: Recently we told by a driver full Outo proud that his children are even studying abroad, he knows even the place where he wants to send them, namely to London, which is located in the U.S. and the acronym stands for United Nations of Africa that is the heart of UK, he explained. Well then all clear where this place is. (I have to say in his defense in a Telugumovie happens that an Indian Family receives a visit from the U.S. and the city from the visits will be in London so naja greet the geography allows)!

Funny Koozie Sayings For Wedding

successful experiences

Today I had a really efolgreichen day, so I've decided I'm going to tell the tale.
in school today was a somewhat melancholy day, but on the other hand very well. The 9 months since I've been here in India, I taught the children at school. Since our school is to prepare for the public school, the children stay for only a year here. On Monday begins the new school year, so it means goodbye to the children. won

one hand, crying with one eye when I put them in this time sooo sweet. Every day, did not matter how tired or unmotivated I once I entered the school, I was gigantic and I was just happy to be there and see the smiling eyes of the children. (Real no idea how the children about us every day since 9 Monanten crazy about us can look forward). I also of course with the children already developed a lot of experience. You know what I ask of them, or what I will tell them (although they may not understand what I want to verbally convey even). I know their quirks, and my stop.

But on the other hand, the laughing eyes, and weighs about real. It's a wonderful feeling to see that our schuetzling can now go to public school and such a big step in making a better future. By comparison with the new children, I can just see very clearly what has all changed. But not only that
If I for example, the second And 3 Class think ... At the beginning of the school year, I'm on the word "book" and they have shown "schoolbag," said (or fall). And today ... Devi sits the love from the 2nd Class next to me and sees a piece of paper and reads it, "What is your name?". You can read an entire English sentence. Or my sixth Class that I teach only been about 6 weeks may now form question and negation, and form the past tense. Or my first Class, the write off of at the beginning English has been able to and now they can all write their names in English.
There is a real good feeling that children can go to because I am so convinced that they vobereitet am well and I have every confidence in them that they will get their way.



the shelter is just not such a good mood. Just as school starts again on Monday, the boys from their families have to go back to the Shelter. So they have to give up their lives again with her family, in complete nature and with much more freedom. But for most it is otherwise not possible to go to school, so it's very important for them that they are in our Shelter. Sorry, there are always children can not cope with it and run it. Last week, three small boys ran away because they were so homesick. One of them called me today and we mean that he will return. Today in the morning is also a home run. In it went, unfortunately, since he came back is not at all well, and he failed to terms with the situation. We tried to talk to him, but he had to do. But this boy is a very smart fellow, so I am certain that he will find his way. In Sabbavaram yesterday ran in the morning like 4 little boys, in the afternoon they were then found in the woods where they hid it, because from there they would walk home.

This all sounds now probably very frightening, but it is often a very touchy reaction that arises from the difficulty to adapt again and finally I am confident that almost all will begin on Monday in the school. Unfortunately, that is to run away but always part of such a project. It was very difficult at the beginning for me, but now I know that deal.
Another example of how different the lives of the tribals (people who live on mountains in villages), has occurred here, too. A 16 year old boy from the Shelter came back after the holidays from his village and told us then that he got married a week. Yes sounds crazy, it is. But the parents when the children marry, so she's not in love with someone or other have any contact. The fact that the wedding is not the best for the two is at that age, I dare to say to me that it's part of the life of tribals, however, is fact. I'm just uebergluecklich that the boy came back to the Shelter and won his school is now making ready. It is also nice to see that he is not depressed about the marriage, but he looks very positive.

Today in the Shelter, I had a tiny little experience that I was minted but insane. At present, we would make in the Shelter from many many Freundschaftsbaender because the boy so much fun. Our youngest boy, Karthik (5 years), has only recently begun to make a friendship band. About two weeks ago he came to me, "Sister Paamu (snake)". He wanted so that I learn in a particular friendship band technology. This I have but just learned themselves and it is really difficult. At first, I explained Karthik, that it is too difficult for him because I really did not know how to do it. He was, however, each drawing lesson to me, "Sister Paamu. I started the show and explain how it works, but his patience was really too little, and after 5 minutes it took the wool and threw it away, and cried, "Sister, no". To my surprise he came back than two days later and asked again after the snake. I explained again, and his patience riess again soon. Then there was a time break. But a few days he came back, "Sister paamu. I sat down again, he explained step by step, how to do it. His patience was very short and I made it but somehow, we made a piece. But he was so dissatisfied with the result that he was angry and it was really angry at me and did not consider me for a while. Today he came back to me and I was even more surprised that he wanted to try it again. I decided today all for him to be there and to do it with him. I held the friendship band and I was always every thread that he must take next. The entire time I focused on him alone, or I knew the, his patience is already over when I For example, only with someone else speak, and he must wait. was really after a while, finally, the long-awaited Paamu (snake) and I was so thrilled with the result that I began to sing. Then he saw my delight, his course still much larger. We have finally made that Karthik has done a Paamu. In the evening we made an exception again and of course the Freundschaftsbaender Karthik came back, "Sister Paamu. I sat down to him and told him to back step by step. Suddenly I discovered when I spoke briefly with someone else, that he has made of himself the next step. I said nothing and only responded when he asked me because he needed confirmation that the next step is right. Eventually I was able to find their own in a friendly band networking and Karthik made his.
He can now make a Paamu alone.
I know I've told this story now really in detail, but I'm looking just like that about it. Karthik has shown me clearly that I can do with a lot of patience. For children it is often difficult to be patient (I know even as well), but if I am calm and patient, then I transfer it to the child and it is much more feasible. But the most beautiful that Karthik showed me was like the saying goes: "Where there's a will, there's a way". And that is clearly Sun Everything can be achieved if one has the will and strength to believe in themselves.


So far so good, the most recent experiences that give me strength and motivation, and always make me feel like much more. Shortly

other news:
It's been a bit cooler, so I am now just one bit wet when I come home from school and no longer completely soaked.
my heat rash has not yet become quite less, but a shower with 3 times a day, baby soap and powder heat I keep it pretty well under control.
Opposite of us will be converted into a home for quite some time - it is beautiful and now I discover that they have painted it in my favorite color-orange. Bright color but just fit really nice in the city.
front of our house is paved the road a bit torn up and new. These small stones were delivered, which have been emptied at the entrance to our street. Well now you just can not go any more pure in the street because there is a large pile of stones. And about half an hour (10 clock in the evening) was suddenly a very loud .... Bettina told me then it just came the mixing machine, well, why not those who want to sleep already. That's a little bit of the crazy India.


So I'm fine, I enjoy the time .... 're nurmehr two and a half months.

wishes you all a wonderful summer (I am pleased that the sun finally arrived with you) and all have a lot of power and energy for the last weeks of school.

love best regards

Can I Be Allergic To Toffee

many surprises, alteration and change

The last weeks were really exciting and once again very diverse.
has started the end of April almost digestive problems from me. Since I have in two days and I really lost a lot of water but gwusst is to say that I will really really weak, if I wait any longer, I went to the hospital (in India there is something like a general practitioner rather not, because crossing simply go to the hospital). I've thought of me I'll get prescribed medication, but they then told me to stay overnight. Well then, I've based my room and the head teacher and di Bettina went home for things to get for me. In the meantime, me the first infusions were appended. Since it is naturally exciting to white in the hospital came to the infusion does not change a sister, but at least 3 or more. Two very nice sisters I have another 20 minutes then watched as infused into me by the way everything flows and asked what to ask (my training that all of my family, my sister does what, or how old they ,...) are only just stood there and stared at me, nice to ...
The Betty then came back later and then has me in the hospital on a 50 cm wide board slept (in India is always someone in the hospital for help, or to bring about food, because you do not get in the hospital). The whole things as infusions or anything else you have to buy anything in a shop in the hospital, as well as bandages or so you have to buy even if it has been used and thus give back again. After I spent a night in hospital and quite a few infusions had in me, I could go home and we took a cramped Outo home. Hui I was glad to have my bed in my sleep.

But not for long, because already the next day broke all staff together on to go to Calcutta, where we all made a trip out. I was a little weak, but as many as I Medikamten got (the Indians always take tablets and when something too much .... for example. Stomachache has a child, then someone goes to the medical shop and bought two belly blows tablets ... well).
Ok so on Monday afternoon, we left with all employees at the station. We had a trip 16 hours before us and would have had reserved seats, but our train was delayed seven hours, unfortunately, so we grabbed another one and went without a reservation. Somehow, they managed to male employees in the crowded and even angestuermten Wagon reach and grab something in the way seats. We sat in the second row, ie about the normal seats, but it was really cozy, though a bit tight but very good. The train was always empty, so we had at the end of each bank and could even sleep there. To eat rice course was noticed with Souce, I got rice with yogurt because my stomach. After driving 6 hours we had to change and caught the train, where we have reserved beds in all. I fell asleep immediately and woke up just before the station, so really nice 8 hours journey. In Calcutta, we slept in the Don Bosco Provincial House.
It sounds now as if all employees work together to make a holiday ... was not the case. We watched some really ingenious street children projects from there we can really take a lot for our project and learn. Particularly impressive for me was the home of Mother Teresa. We saw her room where she lived, spoke with a few sisters of their order we learned a lot about their lives. Unbelievable how a place can have an atmosphere. She is really an admirable woman, a role model!
But Calcutta was a city very impressive. Really live very very rich people and very many extremely poor. When we clock in the evening on the 10th took the bus through the city we saw everywhere, people sleeping on the street. Many just before their business, but also whole families or just a group of Jugenlichenburschen. Very shocking Riessen such a city, but extremely exciting to watch and observe.
Even after 3 days stay, we drove back to the train home. When Return I slept 14 hours 10 hours through, so it was really nice and very problemslos.
It was a good feeling to be home. In addition, boys were waiting on us now below 26 but 37 as new boys in our project were living somewhere on the mountain and from there, from local or financial reasons can not attend school, or have geschmiessen school. Of course, is now totally different in the Shelter, because the boys have to learn a few things, but they are very open and accessible and it's great fun getting to know them.

middle of last week we had then a very important meeting also our Father really inviting all employees. We learned then what we have suspected of rumors before, that our Father will leave the project and another comes. Just as he's just He told us on Wednesday and on Sunday he left us on Saturday for the big farewell program for him and also the welcome program was for the new Father. So it was called for giving us Thursday, Friday, Saturday full throttle, because parting gift, program, etc. had to be prepared. Finally, we all managed in time and the program was wonderful and he really looked forward insane. On Sunday evening we adopted him or jointly with the bus.
There is clearly a crying and a laughing eye was there, but I think it is ultimately a good thing. The new Father was 3 years ago times in this project so he knows it very well and also knows about the most modest. He has traveled very much in the world and thus has many things to another term, which comes to us in good stead. So I am very confident, but has also curious how it will work.
Last Monday we were allowed to "old" guys at last for 2 weeks go to their families back home. Here is an example of how easily the new Father is: he simply asked each boy if he could go his bus number and you know it. Now, therefore, in the Shelter only the new guys and we have very much time they know what's kind of great and appropriate.

are in school of course also existed back changes in time. Mid-May, are already the new kids come for the next school year, the old children remain at about 2 weeks now still in school. Initially we have taught together, but since getting this week, the new extra lessons. This means for me again a little Stundenplanaenderung: 2 And 3 class is English, 1 English class, I teach the children new English or math, then 6 and now every day English class. So I am now every day 4 units in the school, so the whole morning. Is a little tiring in the heat, but it works. At school we have now unfortunately always a power failure, so do the Vendilatoeren not, so we are always drenched in sweat. But with enough and drink enough motivation does it quite well.
I guess we now had always been around 36-38 degrees. Due to the location of our city, it feels but according to the weather usually like 40 - to 42 degrees. So in summary: It is not cold.
rain this week but already has the 3 days since a tornado is nearby. Yesterday (Thursday) we had because of Hurricane Warning is no school because our school is only about 200m away from the sea. Also last week, we had free time because of a Tsunami Warning. On Wednesday, when it started to rain so much, we had lessons yet, but we had to discover that the roof does not close our school. In addition, our windows are only as strong and as it Gitterstaeben rained so we had to close the shutters. There is no power anyway, and already not at all in this weather, we of course had no light. Since then, teaching is very exciting, but you can always find an alternative program.
on Yesterday evening we had worked wiedermal power outage and our backup does not, so I am just a candle sat down and diary written is actually really a nice atmosphere 

In school we get thanks to donations from Austria new panels . On these we can now write straight and at all points and the students can even read what I write. So it really makes every day joy to write on it.

So, as initially mentioned it happening really a lot for us, but that is what I like India so love the many surprises and their subsequent modifications, which, although often stressful and nerve-consuming, but it is certainly always exciting and you never know what the next day comes. And just walk me again today, but tomorrow I'm free, but remember, not so quite what will be ... I wish you all

for the last few weeks before the holiday or vacation, even a lot of power and to send you some sun to warm the cold Austria!

your Martina


Oh I almost forgot to mention ... Mango season is with us now, so I eat every day 1 - 2 or more mangoes. Real now my absolute favorite fruit. So cute and so an intensive Geschmackt. :)

Fort Worth Cruising Spots

Time passes

I am now again almost 3 weeks in India and back again all in life. Since our return to work is somehow become a little more intense. On the one hand, because Easter was just, but also because I still want to spend more time with the children because I feel somehow that the time has really flies.

Last weekend was Easter, so ... principle really not a big festival in India, because almost all people here are Hindus. Since our project is a Christian, we celebrated Easter. Betty and I were preparing last week for each of the boys before an Easter basket. On Saturday morning we bought for 100 eggs and cooked it and then color it. Actually has surprisingly works really well. The only funny but problem was that we could not deter the eggs, because so does the water from the tap and hot 
On Sunday in the morning we went together with the boys from the shelter by bus to Sabbavaram. There we were happy to see huge I again all the boys. Then there was a beautiful joint exhibition, then followed by lunch. Then there was a program with dances, songs, etc. Meanwhile, we hid the Easter baskets of the many beautiful palm trees. Next we divided the boys into groups and each was allowed to look at Easter. Was kinda funny and a different way than in Austria.
danced After the search, we still working and then we played volleyball and football and enjoyed the time together. Was correct and beautiful but also pretty hot. The nice after such a day is then to keep coming home and then enjoy a warm shower (cold water would be nice, but there is something not currently in the pipe).

In Shelter we have every day now again Drawing class nut, but with the younger lads, they have now, namely in the afternoon always free. The drawing and tinkering with them is always very exciting because they can be inspired for so many things because they do not know many things in India and usually draw more perfect understood and will trace the boys then of course, extremely pleased, because it allowed us, for example, as yesterday, with paint and marbles make a note.

The school has recently changed the schedule for me a little. I have been teaching since last week, the first Class in English. Is a great honor because Volontaere not normally get to first grade. The children are very happy that they finally have a Sister and of course it is also exciting for them, but because we have a different teaching style than our Indian colleagues. For example, I check every single day whether the Hausuebung is brought, etc. They are real bright, but definitely interested and somehow so sweet, because they hold still so questions such as which line they should write. It seems to me in the 1st Absolutely great benefit that I can do something Telugu. So I write them the first words in Telugu in Teluguschrift, and then to the English. Good for them because they understand it as safe and even better for me because it is a really good exercise for me, and I therefore improve my Telugu, especially writing.

Waerden On Friday I was in school and non-additionally, the 6th Teaching English in class, that means that I then Monday, Wednesday and Friday am for one hour longer in school. Is of course even more tiring, but it's really important that the 6th Ordinary class teaching English have. Today I have also taught a bit, first with the class. Since then, the difference is very large.
might sound funny, the first and teach the sixth grade together, but today was not a teacher there, so we then changed things a bit. Since then I've just in the first unit in English 2, 3 and 6 and then taught simultaneously in English in the second unit of the 1st And by the way math in the 6th Not always easy, but just Indian and somehow it works then already. In Austria, that would be somehow absolutely unimaginable.


The Tempertaturen get more and more, but I've already got used to dance music while because I just always sweating. Especially when playing football, it is very hot, but as I said everything Gewoehnungssache.

Aja next to the "work" we have last week attended a lunch break in a girlfriend in her house. She has informed us on the way to her house that her family from the middle layer and their house is not so great. There was then a rather small kitchen, a small bath or shower room and a living room, where about three beds have space. There were two places where sleeps the whole family (mother, two daughters, one son). One of the beds was set up so we could sit down to eat on the floor. We got a really good food served on a leaf. There was a great time to and be a normal Indian family to visit. The hospitality is so incredibly big. Now I'm really

already written a lot.
I also new photos from the last time would make up. I hope you had nice Easter. sends

Very best regards

I Have Chicken Pox. When Can I Go Back To Work?

family visit visa problems, Austria vacation and back to India

In the last time I wrote anything because it was so turbelnt, more action would be not really been possible.
As mentioned earlier I visited Dad, Doris and Christoph 1 February. They stayed 4 days with me in Visakhapatnam and I showed them shelter, school, Sabbavaram, the markets, life, people, etc. Was very interesting to learn their impressions, as for me most is very common. After this time together we spent a week in Delhi, where we saw the Taj Mahal and other sights DIVERSE. Life there is some much modern than here in Vizag, so it was for me very interesting to see the differences. But I was glad to be able to go back again after a week in my project and provided the children again.
A week later we got one for us not so good news. But first the background: We learned about mid-January that in India, the visa conditions were changed and we must therefore leave from mid-February for 2 months out of India. We tried another scheme to create but on 19 February was clear then that we had to fly back to Austria. We had three days to say goodbye to us all, and on 22 Betty and I flew in February homecoming together.
The atmosphere was just not going very well, because our plans and ideas had to be changed. Somehow, I speak very excited about the "culture shock" by all, because if I thought so to Austria, I could not really imagine that I will cover this.
But when I move there was, it was sometimes really a weird feeling, kind of hard to put into words. Only then I realized then how different life in the two countries. Especially difficult was But, as in Austria now was winter and the weather, but also the mood of the people of that time are not in top form. But it was wonderful to see how long I have received from family and friends with open arms. They helped me to feel myself again and probably spend some nice hours.
Thanks for that, it certainly was not easy with me !!!!!
With good luck we made it but after 3 weeks to get a visa again and started on 19 March again on the way to India. The parting was not as difficult as I first knew what to expect in India and 2 I looked through my stay in Austria, that I was also there again in six months my nest and I will find my former surroundings.

When we had arrived on Saturday in India, the very great pleasure. Our cook brought us a taxi from the airport (she was the first time in an airport and wished it was a long time to see). The first few minutes of driving, I needed something to get me back to the traffic and get used to the environment. It was nice to enter our room and again So that's to be found, as it was 3 weeks ago. We rested briefly, and then went immediately to the Shelter for the boys to be welcomed. The reunion was great and the usual familiarity right back. Of course I was also in the afternoon to play with full enthusiasm in soccer there. The only difficulty is that We, the slow rise in temperature Stueckweit have missed, as we cooled down in between in Austria, so the approximately 32 - 35 degrees currently stand still as difficult, but it is already.
Today was already the first day of school and everyday life is as usual, as if there had never been an outage.
I'm glad to be able to be here again to continue my work, but now I see more and more postive side of the short Austria holiday. This is my lot here and I again realized in part with a different settings approach to things.

Thanks again to my family and my friends for their support for me in the not quite so simple 3 weeks. It's nice to have the certainty that I can come back any time and be collected.
I send you some sunshine for India!
very happy Martina

Replacing An Auxiliary Plug

New Year, my birthday, Pongal, a visit to the tribals and a little bit everyday

your currently like my digestion is not so much, so I spend the whole day in bed and I decided once again to write a blog entry.
Since Christmas has returned until now still not much rest, but it was always a lot going on.
It began with a New Year's celebration in Sabbavaram. First we had a little fair. Then they danced together, shot a couple of cracker and then danced and danced and danced. Was a very nice celebration. Midnight, we spent threes on our balcony, with a light heart. Was really nice.
On 1 January we were of course busy in school and were even in the afternoon there because we were doing with the children a New Year's program with many different games. Very special to me was that we finally together with the children in the school lunch could.
On 1 Date of birth of January, our school principal, on 2 Jaenner then our Father and 3 January I was really celebrated as much.
My birthday was a special day for me. It has already started with a wonderful breakfast, then lunch with the boys in the Shelter. In the afternoon there was still a program in the Shelter. In the evening I drove Sabbavaram to where it is still a birthday party for the Father and I were. Then Eli and Betty were still in the room a small celebration prepared for me. The next day was then held briefly in the school. I've got so many beautiful drawings and so many smiling faces. It was an unforgettable wonderful day.
After these holidays fell back into our daily lives, but only for a week because of 13 - 15 was then Pongal, the most important festival of the Hindus. On 13 We still had school, but there were only 9 children there, so then, the next few days off. I did not get very far with the celebration because it was not celebrated in the Shelter. But our dear neighbor's large boxes placed directly from our balcony and 4 days long played loud music. I love the Indian music, but everything has its limits. ;)

This week we got the chance that we once again take the umd to Narsipatnam Doerfter to visit the tribals. We went together with Verena (an Austrian a volunteer) and Ken (a German a volunteer) on the way to Narsipatnam and then went on Thursday, together with a Father to different villages. Again it was a very formative experience, as we visited almost all new Doerfter and the hospitality of the people is so exciting.
A village was particularly adventurous. For this we first had a half hour walk up a narrow path up the mountain. When we arrived, people tend to hide from us in the other Doerften they ran us really accessible. In this one remote village, people were even afraid of our cameras and few dared to us at all give a hand. It is inconceivable that people live so isolated.

went to this wonderful day, we still take the bus home and yesterday we were back in school.
morning we have to do with the Shelter boys for a ride, because our Swiss colleague, Eli, unfortunately next Friday will go home. I'm really curious how it is without them .... it just belongs to us.
Monday and Tuesday we will be with boys from Sabbavaram and spend the Shelter in Vijawada that there is a program of all the Don Bosco street children project of Andra Pradesh. There is a program with about 400 boys. 'm Curious what is there waiting to happen. I'm looking forward to spending some time with the boys and also that we can all meet again Volos.

So at the end of next week we must unfortunately say goodbye to the Eli and then on 1 February comes to visit my family. I'm looking forward to it and am curious how it will be my new home for them to show.

love Ganz, now again very sunny greetings

Martina
