Report Our team had an amazing time in Pondicherry! The GV coordinator, Mr. J. Anna Charly, was an amazing coordinator and host. He organized our time well, and he anticipated any needs that we might have. Any time that we had a concern about some aspect of our trip or the program, Mr. Charly took the time to speak with us and explain why certain decisions had been made.
The worksite where we built had no finished Habitat houses yet, but the home partners were living nearby. Due to weather concerns, our team worked with just one mason, a project coordinator from another small NGO, and one or two Habitat employees. We were building single-family, brick homes. Most of our time was spent transporting sand, mixing mortar, and laying bricks. By the end of our work week, we had worked on several partially-completed houses.
Our R&R activities included vising Auroville, an international commune; visiting a temple with an elephant; visiting a local school; and shopping. We were given a lot of free time in the evenings for shopping or walking around Pondicherry. We would have enjoyed a chance to visit more temples, or historical areas.
Our accomodations were at Hotel Mass in Pondicherry City. We stayed three people per room to save money. We ate our breakfast at the hotel, lunch at the worksite, and in the evenings, we tried various local restaurants. The accomodations were very satisfactory.
More than one of my team members said that this was the best week of their life, and many hope to stay involved with HFH. So, I want
to sincerely thank all the people in Japan and India who made our trip a success.
