A year on and my journey has come to an end. I cannot believe it is over so fast and all I have achieved in such a short time. This will be my final blog which I have enjoyed sharing my experiences with you. So much has happened in just this week, I will try to get my head round it all.
Completing all my objectives at work and handing over all the resources to my colleagues to continue teaching others with the material I have produced. Also another OT has been introduced to Deepshikha from India who is keen to continue my work, which is great news for the children here. I have been on several lunch invites by parents determined to fatten me up before sending me home. My colleagues and friends have lavished me with gifts so beautiful I will be the envy of everyone at home. The memories of my times in Ranchi, at the club, at Deepshikha and travelling around India will stay with me for a long time, I feel I have learnt a lot about myself as well as the cultural diversity India has to offer.
This last week I have taken my friends out for a final meal and cocktails, I have watched my last Bollywood film, seen the cricket live, Enjoyed a picnic at the Ranchi Club and been entertained a work with a leaving celebration.

Last goodbyes and kisses at pre-school
The weather here has just warmed up and now it is time for me to leave to go back home to winter, snow and freezing temperatures. However this aside I am very much looking forward to seeing my family and friends and being back in York as I have missed it very much. I have a two day stopover in Delhi for some last minute shopping and return Friday 25th January, see you all soon. Thank you for reading.
