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. :)
