What will it all be like?

Short answer - not really sure yet.I received an email yesterday from India enquiring if I'd mind if they change my job description a bit to make it broader than pure HR. Of course I was happy to oblige as it will make it all the more interesting for me.I understand that some 'Communications and Research' will be included, whatever that may mean. And it must be very difficult for anyone to confirm a job description when the person filling the role isn't going to start work until December.I don't expect much will be done before January 2010 with getting to know the NGO, hopefully seeing a bit of what they do out in the field and of course, celebrating a traditional Irish Christmas under the soaring heat. Funnily enough I am looking forward to a sunny 25th December, as I've never experienced that before. I'm sure it will all be part of the culture shock experience.I'm very lucky that I know of 4 other Irish people in Bhubaneshwar at the moment, and I'm sure there will be great opportunities to meet volunteers from other countries for Christmas dinner also. Don't know what we'll have yet. It might even be a vegetarian meal, but it definitely won't be beef!
