Welcome to my blog! As a student in Froebel College of Education, I will be qualifying as a Primary School Teacher in May and heading straight to the streets of Kolkata with 30 other students from Froebel where we will be teaching with the Hope Foundation
Where we'll be...
Sunday, 29 May 2011
The time has come - ticking off final checklists and getting ready for an early departure tomorrow morning. Very excited but nervous at the same time, it will be a challenging time there but so worth it - will let you know how the first week goes when I get settled there, will post some photos too :)

2 weeks to go and counting...
Indian Visa - check
Injections (ow) - check
Thankfully, the fundraising has facilitated me in getting my injections and anti-malarial tablets which is great as they can be pricey but essential to have while we are there. So this day 2 weeks i'll be roaming the streets of Kolkata finding my way around and getting ready to start teaching. For now there's lots of packing and preparation to be done, now that teaching practice is over, lectures are finished forever and all exams have been sat (and, fingers crossed, passed with flying colours!) On Thursday 19th and Friday 20th, the Froebel Hope partnership have set up orientation days for us - ill let you know how it goes.
Time to learn some Bengali - this should be interesting!
