Vaccinations, logistics are going well, I still have a small issue with my regular visa that need to be closed out however I'm on the good way to be ready to go...Questions jostle in my head: do I need to go to the consular wing in Paris to solve my visa issue? Do I have sufficient mosquito repellents in my bag ? Which electricity adapter ? How many books for one month ? Where is my camera? Should I read again the project's scope of work to finalise a listing of question today for VSO? How to stay in touch with my families and friends in France and in IBM?  How to share this incredible experience with them?...the conclusion is an evidence:  I have to become a blogger!

After few calls, Bettina, Tushar and me decided to share a blog together...I'm happy because it will allow us to share 3 different points of view and feelings on the same experience! Bettina is from Denmark, a Delivery Project Executive that seems to have a healthy lifestyle. Tushar is from Australia, originating in India: he is our Sales man and seems to be definitively very calm and laid back.  I'm a Business Analyst from France, working on Internal transformation projects and Finance initiatives  in IBM; I'm a "bonne vivante" in french ie with a sociable stylelife that love to eat tasty food.We have different different profiles and I like it !

All of us will work on a Data Management and Analytics project with the UNICEF and the Deepak foundation in Vadodara to help them assessing the implementation of the BBBP program in several districts and states in India. 

"Beti Bachao, Beti Pachao": celebrate the girl child and enable her education...I will share my current feeling with you: I'm proud to be a women in IBM when I can contribute to this great country government program and maybe have the opportunity to  make a positive change to Indian girl child life and conditions...

I hope you will enjoy reading our blog and our experience sharing! Don't be too much critical, at least with me as blog isn't my first domain of expertise.
