Hi
AS Chris has posted I have arrived safely at St Michael's Church Compound, Durgapur. I have received a very warm welcome. The children are very keen to get started.
Yesterday (Friday) I returned to Kolkata, another 3 hour drive each way, to buy violins - we have 12. I saw parts of the old city built by the British including going past the entrance to Fort William and the Royal racecourse and golf club.
I didn't drive myself, driving is somewhat different here.Not many rules and very noisy with car horns!!
I have had to set the violins up today and have tunes each at last twice now to stretch them into tune, and will do so at least twice more before the first lesson on Monday so that hopefully they will stay approximately in tune for the lesson.
As I am writing this the children are playing games just outside the door where I am sending this from. Weather is nice and warm. They have all put their head in to see me tuning the violins.
I have a basic comfortable room between the boys dormitory and the girls so can always hear chatter from them.
Hopefully some photos and more news in a few days.
God bles
