Final phase challenge

Project allocations have just been announced for the final phase of this Raleigh India expedition, and I have found out that I will be working in Alpha 1, which is the community project, based in a village called Kebepura which is located on the edge of the Bandipur National Park forest. We will be building eco-sanitation units (toilets) for families in the village in conjunction with an NGO called MYKAPS. My fellow PMs for this phase will be Nikki, who I have just spent 3 weeks trekking with in Kerala, a delight to work with, and Jo, who I'm looking forward to getting to know better.

I'm delighted that I need never eat another rice bag for lunch unless I so choose! I'm already looking forward to the delicious local food. If phase one was arms, phase two was legs, phase three will most definitely be stomach (the expansion thereof).

I will be back in Mysore / at Fieldbase on Sunday 14th December, so will reestablish internet communications then! Back to the pen and paper once again...
