                    <title>Trek by Sam and Harry </title>
                    <description>We woke up at 130am for the 7 hour journey to Hill Station. After lots of sleeping and a few short stops we arrived. It was much cooler and the surroundings were lovely green and picturesque. After a short break to settle in and enjoy some breakfast we jumped back on the bus to head off for our trek. It took just over two hours and the views were amazing from the view point called Dolphins Nose </description>

                    <description>Due to the fact we39re going on our trek later on this evening it39s unlikely that we39ll be able to update the blog for the next few days.

                    <description>Today was our final day at the offsite village project It was so sad to leave but they made the day really special for us. We visited the day care centre for the aged one last time and sang for them as well as donating a sari or a longhi for each person. We also did a collection amongst us and managed to collect over 5000 rupees for them.A few of the group got offered a chance to go into the cla</description>

                    <title>A Tale of Two Tamils  By Robert and Erin</title>
                    <description>Once upon a time in a land far far away 60km from Tirunelveli there went a party of 22 scholars and 5 adults. They were trusted with the immense task of visiting 4 waterfalls without being groped by the locals. They voyaged a perilous journey spanning 2 hours across the dusty roads of southern India.We meet our travellers on arriving at the first waterfall. Vast was it in size and of rocky ap</description>

Half of us stayed onsite and the rest of us travelled to our offsite project.Those of us with the common sense to stay away from Indian roads and children remained onsite to continue renovating the buildi</description>

                    <description>After an evenings practise we felt we were fully prepared for our sold out performance to what seemed like half of Tirunelveli. It was surreal turning up and being cheered walking through a sea of 7000 school girls eager to hear our number. We were treated to a performance of their own at which point the nerves kicked in. After a quick welcoming from the headmistress we hit the stage and belte</description>

                    <description>For the past few days some of the group have been rather insanely getting up at 6am to go on a 2.5 miles run around Tirunelveli. They assure the rest of us that it is great fun and a fantastic way to wake up in the morning. The rest of us are unconvinced and wallow in the bliss of extra sleep.The projects continue and we begin to really see huge improvements to both sites. Whilst the toll of 4 day</description>

                    <description>Friday  One half of the group continued working on building a kitchen area for a local school. The local press got wind of our endeavours and sent a photographer down to the school to see what was occuring. Celebrity status ensued and a few of the group let their newfound fame go to their heads by trying to hog the camera. The party39s divas have now been identified and will be outed at the ce</description>

                    <description>So far we have had a brilliant time.  All the youngpeople have now experienced working in a bakery and we are now completing two building projects.  These consist of a kitchen and toilet at a local primary school in a near by village and a warden accommodation at the deaf school.  It is very different here and we feel like we should be on the 39Only way is India39 as we have acquired celeb</description>
