Finishing Fulbright Project Requirements

Submitted final Fulbright summary, closed out all projects , final meeting with ICMS complete. Now one last meeting with Fulbright and it’s done. What a ride, there are really no words to explain the gratitude that do justice. This has been an experience of a lifetime. Thank you ICMS, WorldLearning, and Fulbright!

My First Sari

Today is a Hindi Holiday and my sweet friend Mala spent time helping me purchase a sari. It was such a fun experience, so very different. You go sit and they bring beautiful Saris out to view. Men are the salesmen. If you want to try one they use a belt around your waist and then there is the art of wrapping and folding and tucking. After you choose. different shop for matching petticoat and weighted strip for the sari. Next stop a shop for a ready made under blouse. All done!
