Klervi Flatres from France
02.10.2007. to 8.10. 07.
I arrived to India the 2nd of October. After having breakfast and lunch in Bishnu's place in Kolkata, we took
the train to Bolpur. Once in Shantiniketan, I went to bed quite early so that I could be in a good shape the
next day for the first meeting with the children.
On Wednesday, unfortunately, I got a little sick in the morning... However, it was not that bad, so I could
read the other volunteers report to prepare my very first lesson according to the needs of the children.
After, we finally drove to the village,and it was a real great moment... The school is really cute and the
children are amazing. I show them the 35 books I bought on Ebay for them, they really enjoyed them. Each
of them sat down looking at the pictures, exchanging their book with their neighbour. I tried to take the most
of that moment, going from one child to another.
