Yesterday was my last day at my NGO. I wore my purple saree for the occasion with gold sparkly bangles that got sparkles all over everything I went near, much to the amusement of my coworkers.
We had a meeting with all the staff and bosses in which I spoke about my time as a volunteer and my supervisor talked about my work. They thanked me graciously for my time spent there and presented me with a Hyderabad freshwater pearl necklace with earrings and a hardcover coffee table book of my favorite book that they publish, Womanscape. The mini ceremony was followed by a wonderful catered lunch. I said goodbye to all my coworkers at the end of the day and promised not to forget them.
Today Shlayma, Lily and I are cleaning our flat and packing our bags. It's amazing how much stuff I acquired when I came here with only a backpackers backpack and a bookbag.
Tomorrow we take a 26 hour train to Delhi, where we will have our final AJWS retreat. Then I go to Britain for two weeks, then Serbia for a week. I will do my best to post during this month of travel.
