6. Trip February 2011

   Mark, Julie and Emily had a really good trip to India in February, both Mark and Emily experienced new things.

   Mark travelled on the 3rd and enjoyed the experience of going into Bangladesh for the first time, seeing several potential projects there.

   Emily was able to spent time with Julie in four of our projects, they left the UK on the 13th and met up with Mark for a few days.

   Emily particularly enjoyed her time in DPS where she spent time with pupils the same as herself. She was amazed at how poor they were and how they lived; She was also able to experience how cold it can get in the mountains, as they had a dusting of snow when she was there, it’s a beautiful place to visit but a harsh place to live.

   Thank you for your support once again, as we travelled we were aware of your thoughts and prayers. More information in the next Newsletter!!

7. November trip to India

   Mark and Julie had a good trip in November, they  visited  the projects in the North,  spending time with both the children and those who care for them.

   En-route up the mountains they had an experience to remember when they joined local people on a boat-bus across lake Tehri and then on the return journey due to landslips they had the unique privilege of driving over the dam which is not normally open to the public.
