Posted on Holiday Troughs today by Poipleshadow (Rob)
Hi All... I am starting to put together a list of prices for our volunteers and wanted to share with you. http://www.EducatorsTrustIndia.org/V...ndia-Costs.htm Also if you could could anyone recommend any good (and cheap/good value) restaurants I should add I'll go and visit (and eat ;) and then add sample prices (any excuse for some good food). They really want to have good food and good prices as volunteers generally can't spend a lot. For example Big Banana have a beautiful Steak Burger and chips for 120 Rs /- Also interested to know what people buy who come here for long term. I'll also add that to the list. What food they cook at home etc... Thanks Rob . |

A terrible tragedy - we are in Aldona and one of the local residents came and tried to tell us something had happened, but we couldn't follow what he was saying.

The chicken curry in Birmingham may not taste the same anymore. And the blame for this lies squarely with the United Kingdom's new immigration policy. The new rules make it impossible for specialised chefs from India to move to Britain. "Under the rules for Tier 2 skilled migrants, chefs from non-European Union countries who will be allowed to work in the UK have to earn a minimum amount of £30,000 annually. This is far too high and the restriction has badly hit Indian restaurants in the UK," says Keith Vaz, a Labour MP. Vaz, whose family is from Goa, has been a vocal critic of the new immigration rules. .................................................. .................................................. ........................ living Your Dream at MTV’S Captain's Shack 17 Feb: Adgully.

India-Ukraine Prostitution Row: Who Should Apologize? 19 Feb: International Business Times. A group of young, semi-clad Ukrainian women gatecrashed into the Indian embassy in Ukraine's capital Kiev last month, tore down the Indian flag and threw it on the ground. They were protesting against a new Indian directive that all Ukrainian women between age 15 and 40 should be screened with extraordinary care when they apply for an Indian visa… Ukrainian police have said the four women activists would likely get a jail term of up to four years for their brazen act…
