“It's a basic raw lifestyle”

General Impression

Overall Rating:    9 / 10

Everyone and everything is wonderful, l have settled beautifully.
Walked into Lakeside the last two mornings, 4 hrs to get some supplies, l like to walk the streets, you know nothing if you're a tourist, ?, Omkarmari ( mother) has been lovely, as have they all. I bought with me charts and they have been perfect. They are very keen .
It's an amazing experience.

Project & Staff

The style suits me beautifully.
Classes are from 3-5pm daily. Relaxed learning and fun with them.
The kids are very comfortable with me.
It's like one big family here.
I help out with the cook who is lovely (she has two daughters, 5 and 12yrs also living here) chopping and preparing food.
Yesterday l helped out 2 grandmothers , Omkarmari (Gurus wife who is wonderful) a lovely young lady (my kids age, Annetta, who says, we are good friends ?) sat and sorted stones and removed weevils from the grain for hrs in the sun.
At night we sit by either the kitchen fire cooking pit talking or outside fire chatting.
Guru says he is happy, l am always happy, he even asked me to help him with reading yesterday.

Tips

It's a basic raw lifestyle, say to volunteers, if they don't like camping, they won't enjoy this. I love camping and l love being a mum.
