The Back Story.... or how I got my Didi

This is Becky and I celebrating Holi, and also in Sari in India.

 

We met in January 2013, when we both set sail on a magical adventure to Sangam World Centre (which is a centre for WAGGGS - World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts in India)

Both Becky and I are members of Girl Guiding UK - and along with other exciting opportunities found Sangam's Community (volunteer) Programme through our passion for Guiding and making a difference to the lives of those around us - we also share lots of other loves, but more on those later.

We shared three months of our lives together, sharing a dorm room with other volunteers, planning activities for the children at our schools, and then 3 weeks of hard core travelling around India, but we soon discovered that when Max & Becky were together amazing and hilarious things could happen to us and very often did.

We are now back in the UK. Beck is from Derbyshire and I am from Staffordshire so geographically we live very close, and talk every day. Beck has just started university this year and has begun an amazing three year journey to become a social worker, which I know is her dream and she will easily achieve.

I had settled back into my life at home, job which I love, planning on my next life step...
Then Sangam sent an email....
Would I like to consider an intern job with them starting as soon as possible. So being a tad spontaneous, not having anything to tie me down to the UK I said YES!! and now I am awaiting my visa for my return trip to India and Sangam, but this time no Becky-Didi.

So Didi in short, this is my catch up with you of events, photos and 'OMG you won't believe what happened to me today' style blog so you too can be in India with me.

Lots of love

Max-Didi
