Tribal dancing

Only a short message, since I have no inspiration left, haha.
Last weekend I went to AP with Claudia, her mum and an Indian Colleague of her, Praveen. There we visited some projects for NABUUR, an organisation that gives support to community development projects. The first day was very tiring and at the end of the day we had enough. The local representative didn't really understand the concept of NABUUR and the sharpanch had taken over his programme of the day.
The second day we visited two other villages which are represented by SAVANS. In these villages we had a really warm welcome. They made banners with our names on them and welcomed us with traditional dances, which we were asked to join. We also had to try bison horns, used for the bison dace. A very special experience which I will never forget.
No pictures yet, but I will post them when I get back...
