is about development... promoting Solidary Humanism.

"My six months here were sometimes hard, difficult, feeling homesick, but basically and generally really happy, and I feel really lucky that I had the possibility to live here and work in a project which is also satisfying me and helping other people."

6.30-8.00: Awoken by the call of the cockerel, escaping from my mosquito-net prison, I greet Louz in the kitchen for breakfast, and complain about the cold (winter has truly arrived and we see our breath in the mornings)

DRH Norway is a part of the international movement of schools training volunteers to HUMANA People to Peoples projects.

My project is situated in one of the 5 slum areas in Behror and it is called Academy for working children. It is a school which especially fits to the needs of poor children who also have to work during the day in order to support their families.

«It was my first experience to play flute and drum in front of many people»
«I think we all had a great day together. We were laughing and feeling like a good team and I think the people around could feel it also»

This six months was one of the greatest periods in my life and I’m sure that I will even speak about my experinces to my grandchildren. And the journey has not finished yet, India is still to come!

The rope pump, made of simple technology and materials was up and running after one hour of hard work

The concept was to make treatment and medication available for poor people, arranging a day when they could be consulted and medicated without costs

Swapping Rajasthan for one week of research, getting and giving knowledge on Self Help Groups and meeting another "country"... south India

Now I know that I don´t need much to be happy because here in Norway I had moments of pure joy. However, as Petya said, the feelings here are like roller coasters

Next day some children came asking “Didi, iskul kahan hai?” (where is the school, sister), so that day my teaching period started.

The people from rural areas are the nicest and kindest ones I met in Zambia. They would always give us a warm welcome, happy to see us again. They would laugh, dance and sing and prepare food for us, they would invite us to their houses. It might sound like a pathetic weird pink stuff but it's true. These moments belong to the nicest, happiest ones in my life.

I feel like I am just now starting to understand how things work here, which ideas will succeed and which will fail. I believe that the lessons I have learned here will be invaluable for the rest of my life.

After one week of funny, nice, adventurous and tiring travel we arrived here in this amazing, wonderful, hidden, wild, cozy place far away from any – for us – ‘proper’ civilisazation

Nearly 25% of my Project Period is gone and when we look at the achievements, they aren’t successful in any case, but may be successful in the future because of the pillars we build up through our work.

The summer is over… Snow is all over Hornsjø! And all we have now is our memory of the last months!

“I am here: alive and kicking in this country of superlatives!”

Volunteers take part in concert together with Aksept in the fight against HIV

«For me the hardest part is the constant rejections. But experience has taught me that for every 20 people who aren’t interested, I will find one who is. Its really the people who are interested who give me the motivation and energy to carry on»

There is a time for everything in the school. A time to learn, a time to play, a time to work, ant last weekend it was a time for us to build
