at least for now, i have not been able to shake my wanderlust. after living in Brazil last year and shortly after settling back into the States, i found the Pushp Niketan School. a non-profit supported by a sugar mill, it began as a pilot venture to bring in high quality thematic/inquiry based, child-centered education methodologies to small towns and rural settings in India. it is located in Dhampur, in the Bijnor district of Uttar Pradesh (about 6 hrs northeast of New Delhi). from January until May this year, i will be teaching art and ultimately plan to establish a photography course with a few 35mm point-and-shoot cameras.
i was supposed to leave today.. because i live in the South and Atlanta proved no competency for dealing with 6 inches of snow, i am now scheduled to leave in a week. i leave Thursday, January 20th, and arrive Saturday, January 22nd.. slowly but surely.
looking forward to sharing my stories..
