It took me almost three weeks to decide whether or not to blog about my experience in India. I know, I am an idiot. I should have done this since day one.
The other volunteers are amazing people from all over the world. I don't think I could survive eleven weeks here without them. I've known most of them for only two weeks but it feels like we have been friends all our lives.
Here is a short list of some of the things I am doing here (I will explain each one of them in further detail in following posts):
Three out of eleven weeks have gone by and I feel like I've experienced it all (near death experiences to some of the best times of my life)... but I know Delhi has so much more in store for me.

- Teach English at a slum school
- Observe surgeries performed at a local hospital
- Assist a doctor who runs a mobile clinic
- Entertain kids at a local orphanage
- Intern with a doctor who manages his own general practice
I probably will not post everyday. This blog will just be a forum for me to share some of my incredible experiences with my family and friends. Please excuse any grammar mistakes!
