Good bye and thank you

Final post from me.

After one fast month spent with Vishakha seeing Rajasthani culture and learning every day about the NGO's work in theory and practice I certainly can say I learned a lot. I learned about the issues a women empowering NGO is facing in India on a daily basis. Going along with the staff in the field, interviewing them and the office workers about everything concerning the NGO's work has given me a clear picture of the huge and important mission Vishakha is on along other NGOs.

I've learned hands-on about Indian sociaty and culture. I've learned about the some specific problems India is facing and how Vishakha is challenging them. I've experienced the great hospitality and friendliness of the Indian people daily and I've lived in the beautiful and new environment the Rajasthani people are living. During this time I've seen centuries old palaces and temples and learned the history and legends behind them. Very much has happened during this monthof which only a very small portion is captivated on this blog. 

In addition to learning about Vishakha's work and Indian culture a wonderful experience has been getting to know the staff of the NGO better. During the whole month I've been treated with great hospitality whenever I've gone and despite how many times again I have asked the same questions. My co-workers have invited me to their houses, introduced me to their families, explained me things about India and showed me many beautiful and interesting places. Every invitation I unfortunately could not accept due to the short time I had here but I definitely am grateful for all those invitations.

I wish to thank all Vishakha workers for the hospitality received from you and the experiences I've had thanks to you. Of course I wish to thank all the readers as well and hope you enjoyed the blog..

Thank you all and good bye!
