We now have even more new editions to our field base team other than just Hasivu. Lotte arrived yesterday after visiting an ashram in south India. She was our first project manager to arrive and has already settled in nicely!
This morning Miriam, Nicky and me (Jess) ventured to Banglaore airport with Sixty to pick up more of the project managers. Camilla and Leti were already at the airport when we arrived…
We then had to wait for two hours for the rest of the PMs to emerge from arrivals, we’re thinking they may be working on Indian time and speed already, it took them two hours to get through!

Once we were all united we started the journey back to field base where there was a fantastic welcome committee waiting for us!
Eddie and M-J waiting for the new arrivals.
The PMs got a warm traditional welcome to field base. Above: Katharine.
All the PMs sat down for a cuppa, to be introduced to each other and to the permanent and advanced teams.
We have now all been fed (obviously with curry). The poor PMs are feeling a little sleepy so they’ve gone off for a rest.
Below is a photo of all our PMs and their names for you all to have a browse.
