I am scheduled to arrive in Kolkata on Friday May 23rd a little after 5:00am local time, and will head straight to the school from the airport. The inevitable jet lag aside, I'm very much looking forward to meeting the students, teachers, and Sister Cyril Mooney, the headmistress of the school - I am truly humbled by the opportunity to work with all of them, and can't wait to get started.

Background Info
All students who attend the Clinton School of Public Service are expected to complete an international service project as part of their Master of Public Service coursework. For my project I chose to serve in Kolkata, India, where I will be working with the Loreto Day School, Sealdah (www.loretosealdah.com). The exact details of my service project have yet to be finalized, but the current plan is that I will be working with members of the school community to establish college and career prep programs for the girls at the school.
