| Gondwana University, Gadchiroli, where CGNet is holding the yatra preparation workshop |
CGNet has come to Gadchiroli, Maharashtra to prepare for the
next educational yatra that will leave on the 15th December. This
time around, the yatra will have two teams – one in Hindi and one in the
adviasi Gondi language – and will be on the road for two year and will try to
cover as much of central India as it can.

| Introduction meeting...with songs! |
We are using the Gondwana University in Gadchiroli as a base.
This new college, unfortunately, does not yet have a permanent faculty to staff it but,
luckily for us, that does mean we are free to move in for ten days and use its
facilities.
We have invited potential yatra volunteers along with some
familiar faces from last time around. Hopefully, from this group we build two
effective and enthusiastic teams that will be happy to devote their time to
teaching people about CGNet. Around 50 people have come from all over India:
Mandla District MP; Narayanpur Chhattisgarh, from here in Gadchiroli; we even have a few guys from a
theatre company in Bangalore who are interested in participating.

Today is spent with introductions. One of the first things
everyone does, delightfully, is split up into teams to write a song about CGNet!
