I'll be posting some blogs over the next
few days about our Avalanche camp we just had. It was an amazing experience for
all involved, and each day, I would write down highlights of the day. Mostly
just little things, things people might not even notice to write down in a
journal. But put together, it is these little things that made Avalanche what
it was. Some of these might not make sense to anyone who was not at camp, some
might not make sense to any but me. I tried to make them so they would make
sense to anyone, but I'm not sure if I succeeded. Feel free to ask me any
questions you might have about them.
This is from the first day. The girls came
in, and we spent the evening with them. It's a pretty short one, because we
didn't really do that much with the girls. But it was still a wonderful night,
and a great time to spend with the girls and with each other.

Seeing the way that our Ooty girls determined that we were
“theirs”, and they were going to let everyone know. It seemed to give our
friendship a bit of a kickstart.
·
Seeing staff I had only met at the staff retreat.
·
Watching everyone step out of their comfort zones and start to
make friends.
·
Meeting the American team, though they were terribly jet-lagged,
and discussing what would be happening at camp.
·
The excitement of girls and staff both.
·
Having a very amusing discussion with Mala and Pradeep about the
downfalls of not using toilet paper. Especially for a woman. Pradeep didn't really understand...
