Accommodation in India

Less than 2 weeks to go and found out I'm staying in a host home when I go to India. So excited to get to see Indian home life and help my host family.

Walk 3 - West Kirby to New Brighton

Image
Today was walk 3 of my 4 walks 4 rights over 4 days. I got the bus to town and then the train to West Kirby to start my walk around the coast to New Brighton. The weather was in my favour and I had my wooly hat to stop my hair blowing about and trying to suffocate me. I found it mentally and physically exhausting which I wasn't expecting. I didn't realise how hard this would be on my body and pushing myself to keep going all the way instead of lying down face first on the floor is a proud moment of mine. I am at 44% of my target after today and hoping to hit 50% on my 4th and last walk tomorrow. Hope you enjoy the pictures.   West Kirby Marina     Thumbs up!     The corner     Horse galloping on the beach     Pirate ship!     A bay     Getting closer!     The mouth of the Mersey     New Brighton Marina   ...

Exploring Alangayam

Image
Day off so had a lie in then went for a walk around Alangayam. There is a crossroads in the centre so walked up north street and then turned left and walked to the edge of town. At the end of every road leading out of the village is long expanse of countryside which is incredibly beautiful. Nearest village is about 6km away. Turned back and walked up the other road to the edge of town then back home for some lunch. Re- deeted (insect repellent) and went for a walk around the lake and around the back streets. Local kids coming back from bike ride. Megan and the locals who come out and try and talk to us in most places we go around the village. Lake Locals are digging up back streets to install plumbing. I would hate to wake up, walk out my front door and forget.

A Makeover and Return to Touring.

Exactly 3 years ago today I was starting my ICS volunteer programme in India. It changed my life and the lives of the community we worked in, where ICS continues to support to this day. Anyone can volunteer for ICS twice, once as a participant (which I did in India) and again as a Team Leader. I am super pleased to say that I have just been accepted as Team Leader to work in Africa starting January 2018 for 6 months. As part of my placement, I am asked to fundraise £800 to aid in the continuation of International Citizen Service. Many of you donated last time and without your support I wouldn’t be living a life that I love right now. If you are passionate about supporting projects in the developing world or just want to show support for me personally then please visit my JustGiving page ( https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/catherineholmes-is ) and contribute if you are able. Thanks!
