The intermediate seminar in KKID

Our English courses in Vittla

After nearly two months in India, we got our first project visit to the Charles bucket Foundation (KKS). For weeks, was scheduled at the staff meeting and discussed and all Maithri staff were in a state of panic when we finally Renate Tietz on 20 October from the airport picked up in Mangalore. She was for four days with us and has over Maithri Trust and our work informs the project. Our students have, of course, for this reason particular care and our children's group has been very pleased with the visit got from Germany. Also for us it was very nice to imagine someone our work and to see once again how much the PPS strives to our well-being.

In one of the children's homes run by the NGO, which we visited

We also visited with Ms. Tietz a new project that for the Bridge Builder programs interested and next year would also include volunteers. The Director this project, an elderly lady who puts her heart and soul into their work-has us both very impressed. NGO takes care of their former child workers and give them a home and access to education. Also provides support women who have been abandoned by their families or abuse and seek refuge, alcoholic helping people in therapy and distributed healthy but affordable food to construction workers. We have also established our first contact with people outside the Indian NGO: In the middle terrace of the NGO in Mangalore has the director (and former university professor) met with their former pupils. There, now young Indian women sat in jeans and T-shirts and discussed arranged marriages, Patriarchismus and development assistance. Their views on the whole corresponded to ours, their self-confidence and eloquence impressed us deeply. Finally, we were invited for the women to visit the University of Mangalore.

When visiting a Hindu temple

After a day on which the Karwar guys got to know our project, we all went along with the night train to Coimbatore, where we visited Charlotte and Katja at NMCT. There, we played and ate with the children and then got a dance of the children presented. Just because Maithri Trust specializes in working with women, it was very interesting for us to experience life in an orphanage.

25th to 27 September, then taken every 14 volunteers of the PPS, together with their mentors in KKID in Coimbatore. Together we have shared our experiences in three days of seminars and discuss any issues. But was also between the official program of some discussion, said, planned, laughed. It has also gone a tear or two and unexpected problems and fears came to light. But thanks to the incredible people skills of our caregivers and the empathy and openness of the volunteers and mentors could finally calmed any reasonably go home.

After a Cultural Evening with shared singing and playing, we said goodbye on Wednesday in tears from the other volunteers and mentors. We're in this time really grown into a large family together. In every family there are conflicts and problems, but ultimately all are there for each other.

therefore look forward very, now to be back at home with Maithri, look forward but also forward to Christmas, we will celebrate together with other volunteers in Bangalore.
