My travel partners and I have been in constant contact with Riyas, our Indian host teacher, over the past few weeks. He has been most generous in keeping us posted with what we can expect when we leave Bangalore on June 12th to head to Kerala where he lives and works. So now we know we will be teaching a lessons to 8th/9th/10th grade girls, and we'll be presenting to teachers.
Sarah, Jennifer and I have been feverishly putting together our lesson plans and presentations. My students are now working on their letter writing activity---they'll be sending letters to the students I'll meet in Kerala---and they are researching to learn all they can about Kerala and India itself.
My wardrobe for the 3 weeks abroad is pretty much all laid out now; today I picked up mosquito repellant and yesterday I got my final vaccine--typhoid...yikes! another stick--my poor left arm:(
But my visa arrived yesterday as well! And we know that one of the activities Riyas has planned is to take us to the Arabian Sea-----the Arabian Sea folks!! Can---not---wait!! What a treat!
