As of today, I leave for India in ONE WEEK! Our team is coming alongside the eMi office in India with the engineering and architecture design of a hostel for children in need and a missionary rest home in the Vellore area (Southern India). I apologize for the vague information but I'm hesitant to share details at the moment because a lot of changes have been taking place in terms of projects and clients. So prayers are definately appreciated!
For those of you who may still be confused with what I'm doing exactly in the UK or if I actually work... Most days are spent researching/studying surveying, water standards, typical design for developing countries, etc to prepare for our work in India. Today, I spent most of my time familiarizing myself with a water quality testing kit from Lifewater International (a Christian non-profit in San Luis Obispo-that is exciting). In India we will have to take some tests once we go to project sites and I want to know what I'm doing before getting there. I'm also working on a trip packet which consists of gathering and organizing all important teammate documents, travel information, a general overview of the Vellore area, design standards in India, etc. We are also wrapping up and printing a previous project report of a school in Liberia. A lot is going on, but we always make time for tea and coffee breaks. Always.
If you think of it please pray for Val's VISA to go through.. it was not ready when the others were and we leave so soon! Thanks.
