Neighbors!

I spent the last couple days in Kolkata where I greeted the other 2/3 rds of the Silver Bay Team at the airport. Katlyn Cronin and Alison Rutkowski arrived from JFK with a little jetlag from the long flight but with big smiles as their Indian Adventure is just beginning. Together we all made the trip to Ranaghat where we all will be located for the remainder of our volunteer work here in India. Together we will all continue being engaged with the girls at the YMCA and participating in and supporting their daily activities. Katlyn in a graduate of Springfield College as well where she was a Youth Development major and an active member of the YMCA club. Alison Rutkowski is a graduate of Boston University with a degree in Psychology. I have had the pleasure of working closely with both of them at Silver Bay as we were all Children's Leaders this past summer. I'm really excited because I know they bring a lot to the table when it comes to working with children and being positive role models. With the trio now complete there will be lots more experience and various types of expertise that we can share with the girls at the Home and the local village groups. Silver Bay is here in full effect.
