Random, yet Useful Facts



Anna's Counterpart: One Ms. Leigh McIlvaine. A Master's of Urban and Regional Planning student at the Humphrey Institute. Originally resides in Idaho. Has traveled to southeast Asia previously, specifically Bangladesh. Has complimentary skills to social work. [This means; Anna will not be going into rural India alone, she is paired with one other student to do this work].

Average Daily Temperature: In New Delhi is 97 degrees. Oof. Categorized by "extreme humidity". Huh.

Monsoon Season: July - September

Anna's Location: A small village name Rajakhat, very close to Munnar (see circle on map)

Daily Conditions: I know there will be running water, but no hot water. A stove, but no refrigerator. A western style toilet, but not a defined shower area. Electricity, but not reliable.
The next town over has good internet connection, I plan on taking the hour-long bus ride at least twice a week for communication.

Contact Info: I don't have an address yet. You can use the blog or my email address: annakielmartin@gmail.com
