Update #11: Riding a Rickshaw

Posted on October 14, 2010

Hi guys!

So, I have settled into my new home in India. I am writing this from the Drishtee office. My first project is rural women entrepreneur development. I am so excited to dive in and get started on it on Monday!

As for this weekend, a few of the other interns and I are going to Manali to explore!

Also, I took a video of what it's like getting around here: http://www.youtube.com/watch... Rickshaw ride through Ghaziabad!

Anyways, that's all for now.

Much love,
Jodi

      Hi Jodi,

      Looks like you are out exploring the area, I sort of expected that. Is that the Drishtee near Sibsagar, Assam, or Delhi? I'm assuming it's the one near Delhi, otherwise Manali would be a bit far for a weekend trip. Where is the Woman's project located and what will you be doing?
      I hope it's not too hot? That part of the world can get and stay quite warm.

      Be careful - but have fun.
      Bruce

      Hi Jodi,
      I noticed the monkeys - you seem to look for them where ever you go. Hope things are going well.

Update #8: WE DID IT!!! ITS OFFICIAL... INDIA, HERE I COME

Posted on August 17, 2010

You people are so incredible awesome I can’t even begin to put how I feel into words. Thank you so much for all your love and support.
With your help I will be taking off from LAX in October for Uttar Pradesh!

I am definitely going to keep all of you updated with my time in India and the progress and details of the programs I’ll be working on. Thanks so much for helping me get there. I’ve said it before, but the amount of community support I’ve received has blown my mind.

To all of you who have helped out even in the smallest way, through this journey of Kickstarter: THANK YOU x A MILLION. To all of you, I am eternally grateful.

I can’t wait to send you all your goodies! (The prizes from India will obviously only be sent in October when I get there)

P.S. if anyone is planning a trip to India, look me up!
