Welcome to the Missionaries of Charity Chicago blog!
I have created this blog so that our group has a forum to exchange information and keep in contact with each other as we embark on this magnificent adventure.
Mostly I wanted to put up the information we have collected so far about the trip:
Departure from Chicago: TBD 2010.
The duration of the trip depends on your personal preference. I plan to be in Calcutta for 4 weeks, and perhaps travel around India several weeks following that. I know many people can not afford to take that much time off of work and for other various reasons some people may choose to be there only 2 weeks (less than 2 weeks is not recommended due to the time it takes to adjust and get acquainted with the work of the Missionaries).
I will soon post the information that I've collected over the past few months. Its quite a lot and if I can't figure out how to post it as a link, I can easily email it to anyone interested.
Thanks and I look forward to hearing from others who are as excited about this trip as I am!
What exciting news, Bridget! I am so proud of you for doing this and wait with anticipation to hear all about your journey, from the planning stage to your arrival and time in Calcutta! Way to go--you impress and surprise me more and more!
ReplyDeleteLove ya!
I have been praying fervently to the travel gods to keep you safe as they have kept me safe. Which considering that I had a motorbike accident yesterday may actually be futile.
ReplyDeleteAnxious to hear of your Indian exploits. Does this mean you are becoming a nun?
Keep it real,
