Teaching in Rahjastan

I very much enjoyed and learned a lot from the whole experience. It was wonderful working with like minded people on this project even though we handn't met before everyone joined in to make it a great experience for the children who were so appreciative of everything done for them. One of the real Indian experiences is going on the train to Delhi booked in a sleeper - we are allocated sleeper beds by the guard so not always together. We are given a bedding roll and towel and we took liners for sleeping bags to use as well. However the whole experience is like nothing you have ever experienced before with the local Indian population unaware of ones personal space so often a bag was dumped on one or they sat on the end of the bed while they talked through where they were going to sleep and while they sorted their bedding and also talking at the top of their voices it seemed to us!! However it was all done in good humour and no problem but just needed getting used to. They would not understand that they were disturbing our sleep..... if you have travelled before on an Indian train one just has to be thankful one has a bunk rather than sitting on top of the train!!
