Hello

Hello and thanks for looking at my blog.

If you don't already know, I have been incredibly lucky to be nominated as Yorkshire Water's representative for the 2007 WaterAid supporters' visit to India. I hope (technology permitting) to use this blog to keep a diary of my experiences and my feelings while I am in India.

I am very excited to have this opportunity to really see how WaterAid works on the front line, and how the tremendous fund raising effort back here in the UK really makes a difference to people's lives.

I fly from Heathrow to New Delhi on Saturday 24th Feb and will be travelling to the region of Orissa and its capital Bhubaneswar next Monday where we will see WaterAid projects in various stages, from the villages and slums where there is no safe water supply or toilets; to the places where WaterAid have been able to make a difference to people's lives and well-being.... will write again soon - hopefully from sunnier climes!
