Once we'd cleared customs we were met by our in-country agent Dawa, he had several jeeps waiting to whisk us away to our accommodation.
You can see that i am in control of the driving to the Dream Ladakh Guest house.
On our arrival we were greeted warmly
by our host family.
It looks very comfortable here and I see they grow their own vegetables-there's hope for me yet as i might be able to eat some of this. It will sure beat rice, noodles and dal!
There also looks to be plenty of land to stretch my poor squashed legs!
The rest of the day was spent relaxing, getting used to our new surroundings and drinking plenty of water. Our poor bodies needed time to adjust to this high altitude.
This is Dolker, she is one of the Assistant Directors of REWA. This is where we are going to be based for the next five days for our project phase.
REWA brings hope to the disabled children and adults who live in Leh and the surrounding area.
I feel very honoured to be part of this work with the students. I shall tell you more in the next email.
We have been given permission to camp in the grounds of the centre and use the limited facilities
You can see that I am helping to purify the water bottles. Each litre of water needs four drops of chlorine, this was a very important task I was given!
