Ellen & Kirsten’s blog: 4 days before the trip

January 27th, 2009 Posted in Uncategorized

We are so excited to be departing for India on Saturday!  There is still a lot to get ready.  Today we bought a bunch of supplies, and were fortunate enough to get a lot of medical supplies donated from a local store.  We were also able to get a lot of great tips and equipment from a friend whose daughter has recently travelled to Calcutta.  We are looking forward to meeting up with a friend of Kirsten’s from high school during our EIGHT HOUR layover in Newark before leaving for Delhi.  There is a lot of snow & sleet coming down outside in Columbus, but the weather in Uttar Pradesh (the region we will be travelling to in India) is expected to be sunny and 70’s!

 We will use this blog to keep you posted on our travels & adventures, and to send lots of pictures!  Please feel free to respond, or to contact us by e-mail. 

Take care!!  -Ellen & Kirsten

    Dear Kirsten and Ellen,
    Namaste!!
    I am sooo excited for you guys!! I hope that your travels were uneventful and you reached India safely. I can’t wait to hear all about the hospital and Uttar Pradesh.

    Things are status quo here in C-bus. It continues to be frigid, so I hope you guys have some warm weather there.

    I’ll drop some Hindi for you guys:
    Kal ke liye shubh kamna (ask someone what this means)!

    Take care,

    Asad
