We met at 8 pm the day before our departure for a quick meeting. Mohit and Sharmila (Nani) coordinated prior, to understand their workshop, decide goals and have an overall plan. The whole team saw some of the samples she had brought along to get an idea of the women's workshop. Siddharth wanted to switch teams to join the Jute workshop but of course we did not let him :)
Our side table looks full now with stationary and other materials, lots of water bottles and quite a bit of trash!
We unfortunately lost Piyush to a paper writing commitment and though I was a bit concerned, I was assured by a confident Shweta that 'we will manage fine'.
Kulwant and Koel were missing in action as they were busy planning and buying among other things, Maggi noodles for our lunch the next day, to be cooked on a wood stove. They arrived just as we adjourned, with great confidence in their delivery the next day.
Bharatji informed us that we needed gate passes as we tried to sail out of the main gate the next morning with 20 long pieces of bamboo we were carrying with us, along with our cameras, white boards etc.. That set several of us spinning for the next two hours as we tried to tie up these administrative details in preparation for our departure.
We called for 4 cars as our entourage of people and goods grew and then we revised our departure time from 8 am to 7 am and then to 6 am! I waited to see when we would actually depart with the professed all-nighter by most of the mentor gang.
Here's to a wonderful and successful workshop full of learning, fun, enrichment and fulfillment!
