Getting ready to leave... plans to get more people to come!

So, a day and a half left of the big trip. Its been a priviledge.

My research, and my experiences in Sindhudurg couldn't have been accessed without the help from Inheritance India (www.inheritanceindia.co.in) and Col. Sudhir Sawant. Phoebe's research with Saathi (www.saathi.org) was considered to be a success too.

So - now what? Can't just leave it at this, surely! I reckon that there is scope here for these organisations and individuals to take on students next year... but this time doing in a much better way... starting way early, back in September - guiding both the dissertation in December and the field research in May.

Even if people don't want to study with either of these organisations, I'm convinced that Saathi, at least, could be a brilliant way for International Health students to get acquainted with India, the NGO world and the world of health and healthcare over here...

Right - that's what I'm going to do for the next 36 hours - watch this space.
