After successfully finishing their school
year there has
been a special event for the youths and children: An excursion into the heights of the
Yercaud Mountains near Danishpet. Early in the morning we started our trip at
the foot of the Mountains.
The plan was simple: Follow the path up to the top and
reach the town, which also had the name Yercaud. Ok, lets go... but where was the path? It
seemed somehow we missed it. But no reason to worry about. If you have no path
you create a new one by yourself! So we wandered through the forest, passed the
creeks and climbed the rocks. Luckily the children and youths helped each other
to find orientation and to break through the obstacles of our summit attempt
In early afternoon we finally we reached
the top. Some of us were exhausted, some
others covered with dust, but in the end all were happy that we managed these
special kind of adventure. After hours of walking now we changed our
way of traveling and took the bus to the above mentioned town. There we met
Vivegam Godfrey leader Edwin and with him we went to a nearby park. There the
children had time to relaxe while having tasty Parotta for lunch.
After a walk through the town we took the
bus to Salem and from there back to Danishpet. We reached the village in the
evening, tired of the long day, but still excited of the adventure we had had togehter
