Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow

Posted on 6:45pm Tuesday 1st September 2009

Catherine Tate has a very unlikeable character called Geordie Georgie who has a daily bizarre charity to raise money for. It is the same in our office where hardly a day goes by without some sponsorship appeal or other arriving in my inbox. (I have a limit of one donation a week,) So when it comes to my turn to elicit some fundraising I know I have at least got to have a decent ‘hook’ or idea to capture attention.

Tales from the Temples

Posted on 5:22pm Thursday 20th August 2009

So just who did leave a small blue sperm whale on the grave of Douglas Adams? That’s what I want to know. It was a lovely tribute to one of Britain’s top comic writers of his generation.

One month in

Posted on 6:26pm Monday 3rd August 2009

So it’s been nearly a month since I arrived in India, and I think I am beginning to settle into life here. I’d like to say I’m picking up the lingo… and it’s not like the children here aren’t eager to teach me, it’s just I’m very bad at languages anyway. My failure to remember what they teach me is met with grave faces of disappointment. I find their names hard enough to remember anyway.

'The start of things to come...

Posted on 2:11pm Monday 20th July 2009

So the orientation week came to a close and the seven of us volunteers went off in our different directions into India. The week in Pondi finished with visits to various Indian NGOs, including the Anul Ashram, an HIV/Aids orphanage looked after by Father Dominic – by far the most interesting person I have ever met. He told us the history of the Ashram, and his past volunteering experience (as well as the odd anecdote involving Mother Teresa!).

Posted on 6:02pm Tuesday 7th July 2009
