World Camp is back in action in India and things are heating up (and we don't just mean the weather, which by the way has been well over 105)! The past week was full of happy returns and excited arrivals. Stepping off the train from Mumbai, Rina Kojima was thrilled to return to World Camp for the 3rd time and Ahmedabad for the 2nd, as she joined Katy in finalizing camps, outreach projects, and cultural excursions. 
A 4:40am flight from Qatar brought Kendall to us, a native Coloradan, and sister of a former Malawi volunteer. Kendall hit the ground running on her first day in India. A quick breakfast stop at the city's famous chai stand, Lucky Chai, energized us for a morning of house and school supply shopping, and a taste of fresh coconut juice, in the Old City with new Field Assistant, Prena Aaroa. 24 hours later, Sadie landed in Ahmedabad. A devoted World Camp applicant, she was pumped to dive right into her first experience in India and our volunteer orientation. The day was complete with shopping for Indian clothes, a tour of the city, our first (of many) Gujarati thalis, an introduction to World Camp curriculum issues, and a conversation about service at Seva Cafe. Pictures and stories are coming.....
With love from, the India 2010 crew
