(05-04-10)Yesterday we first went to the headoffice of MVF and met some people that are going to assist us with the trainings that we will give coming the next 2 weeks.
After meeting several people of the MV Foundation, we drove off to a girls bridge camp close to the border of Shankarpally.
We arrived at lunchtime and ate some tipical indian country food, what was really spicy.
After lunch we sat in a circle with all the teachers, and we had a conversation about what the bridge camp stands for and how MVF is supporting them.
Later that afternoon we visited some classes and spoke with some children about how their experiences in staying at the bridge camp.
Before we left, we handed out some presents to the children of the bridge camp and wrote some personal note in their guestbook.
(06-04-10)Today we got up early to go to the boys bridge camp just outside Hyderabad, which is also the location where we will give the trainings.
We got there by autorickshaw, which was a whole new experience for us. The most impressive experience on that ride was the (lack of) suspension on these vehicles.
When we arrived at the bridge camp we were welcomed by the warden of the bridge camp.
After that we visited some classes and spoke with some children about what the are learning in class, and try to give them an indication of how far away the Netherlands are.
After the trainees of the superuser training arrived, we settled down in one of the classrooms and setup the projector and laptop.
At the beginning of the training we had some short introduction, after which we gave the superusers an overview of the new features in the Child Monitoring System.
Tomorrow, we will discuss some more technical details of the Child Monitoring System at the superusertraining.
At the end of the afternoon we left the bridge camp to go back to the hotel. In the evening we had a walk through the crowded streets of Hyderabad and had some typical Indian pastry.

Schier stukkie tekst, ja; met een poar mooie ploatjes d'r bie. Ken 't ook in de Grunneger toal?
Just kidding.
Nice to read your journal. I believe you went to the same camp for girls near Shankarpally. Is it the one in the middle of nowhere, with a big fence near the road and with a draw well on the terrain?
You guys must have had the same food as we had there; eating without fork, knife and spoon is really something else, isn't it?
It's great to train the trainers at a school instead of at the MVF-office, although it must be quite a ride twice a day. Is it the camp near a busy road where the non-negotiables are painted on a wall?
Also good to read that you also enjoy the Hyderabad-life by gaining a lot of impressions. I can definitely recommend you to visit a shoppingmall and the great cultural things like Charminar, Birla-temple and a big mosque near Charminar.
And for dinner or lunch I can also recommend you Nan King and their more European neighbours: great food! It's not far from your hotel by ricksha. I believe you stay in the same hotel as I did? Urvasi?
Please deliver my greetings to Arvind, Naren, Mahender, the little Chai-waiter and the others.
Enjoy your stay and lot's of success!
Leuk om te lezen! Heel veel succes. Geniet ervan, want het is voorbij voordat je het doorhebt. Doe Mahender en Amid de groeten.
En ga ook eens eten in het restaurant op de 1e etage van het Kamat hotel, schuin tegenover de Clock Tower. Ook nog een tip voor een mooi museum / plek voor wat rust: Chowmahalla Palace, bij CharMinar
