I was born in 1990 in gothenburg, Sweden.

As soon as you open the paper or watch the news today you will be able to se the injustice because of the cultural differences in our society and all around the world. This triggers me, it pisses me off and it makes me want to react.

I've been political engaged since I started my first year in upper secondary school. That have gave me the chance to feel important and to feel like i actually can change things. Maybe i can't change the whole world bye my self but i can sure do something and together we can do alot!

I was raised with the knowledge that every single man on this earth has the same value and for that i'm very thankful.

Im mother of a two year old daughter and i really hope that this world will change direction and become a better place for her to grow up in. I'm doing this for her, I'm doing this for me, I'm doing this for you and I'm doing this for them! We together can and will make a difference.

And what we will se, those we will meet and everything we will experience will make a difference to us.

Form after form shall be filled. It's VISA applications and scholarship application forms that takes most time right now. Everything must be just right. And to search for the different scholarships takes allot of time!
There are plenty of ways to search, sometimes you can find information at the library, you can search the web, call to the church for exampel. Maybe your counselor at school has some tips. The main key is to start in time. Many scholarships have one or two dates a year when they process applications. We have searched some different scholarships but haven't had any succes yet, we are still hoping to get some help with the financing. If else we will take the money from our own pockets and we know it'll be worth it.

Yes, time for visa preparation. We started visa proccess yesterday. There are some formality, we need to do before we send our visa application to (Cox and king) visa handling agent. Normal visa proccessing time is five working days.Proccess start from the day you have made payment and application is submitted.

As you've seen the tickets are booked. The 7th f november the plane lift us upp and away. Towards the greatest adventure of our lifes. We think we are prepared of what we are about to se. But how can we be sure. This journey will for sure be filled with lots of fun and happiness but how will we cope with all the injustice, sadness and misery?

According to WHO (world health organisation) is stunted growth is a big problem in India as an effekt from malnutrition. There are so many children out there in the world who doesnt know when they will be served a meal next time. And most likely they wont be satisfied when the meal is over. It's so sad but still when you watch TV or pictures in the newspaper the most of the children are smiling. That's why me and one of my classmates should make a essay about life quality. The name of our essay will be "how is the nursing staff working enhance the quality of life in children with malnutrition"

The second essay will be about the elderly care, that's all i know for now i Guess they will tell more you later.

We have bought tickets to Kolkata India, 07/11/2013 CPH to CCU and 15/12/2013 DEL to CPH.

Our journey is about to start. Some of you might wonder why we started this blogg and im just about to tell you.

With this blogg we want to invite you to take part in our journey and maybe learn something on the way. We want to charir our experiences and hope that some of you will find it interesting to follow us. We hope to bring interest among the people to go on this type of travel. The more people who go out and share and learn from other cultures the greater international understanding we will have in our society. We will get a more open and understanding world. 

We are four nursing students who will travel to Kolkata. We will work as volunteers at the missioneries of chairity mother Theresa. We are going to write two essays based on interviews whit the workers in the charity. 

We started our planing in fall 2012 and in november 2013 the trip will start.
