Namaste all,

Saying goodbye to old habits, friends, family, generally taking yourself out of your comfort zone is always hard. I find myself thinking that the dream of doing Seva is finally becoming a reality and I have never been more apprehensive. Due to my own personal reasons, this has all been a little dis-organised and find that a lack of knowledge about the area is somewhat daunting. This on top of the looming reality that its going to be incredibly hot, and I’ll be placed in a small village. Yet another foreseen thought is that this is the first time in my life that I’ll be alone for so long. I’ve stayed at home for most of my life apart from three years where I lived with my brother.

Obviously these “challenges” are nothing in comparison to how excited I am as well. Being able to give back has been a dream that I have only been able to put into plan recently. I’ll try and keep up as much as possible but I am yet unsure of my duties so I can’t commit to updating my blog at specific times of the week. As soon as I have my routine I’ll be in a much better place.

Any hoo, on and up as they say. You take something positive from every experience and while I’m sure that this placement will be hard, I will learn a lot from it. Back to packing for now.

Reena 🙂
