February 11 School for the challenged, flights



Photos: London fog, Waiting in Mumbai airport
I am glad I packed my luggage last night. One huge thing less to do this morning. Just put everything in my host’s car then off to join Jennifer and Bernie and Bazil (DG) at a school for the mentally challenged. The Vasco Rotary Club is trying to raise funds to buy a school bus the allow children from the workers and families further away to send their children. Some of the children gave a nice dance performance and sang. They were a mix of dyslexic, autistic, CP, and others.
The four of us, minus Rajiv, proceeded to Goa Airport and flew an hour to Mumbai Domestic arriving late due to flight delays. There we were met by Koustub Gosavi, a member of the incoming to NJ GSE team. We parted ways with Bernie as he is headed for Delhi and Agra for a few days. Koustub entertained us for the afternoon and evening. We had a 12 hour layover until our flight to London. We mostly sat and just relaxed and talked. We were able to give him some pointers to help him prepare for his trip to the USA.
Now it’s midnight and we are sitting in the Chhatrapati Shivji International Airport in Mumbai waiting for our 0240 flight out.
