This is a blog about my experience as a volunteer at the Kalinga Eye Hospital in Odisha, India during the summer of 2013. I worked through Unite for Sight, a US-based NGO and world leader in providing high quality, cost-effective care to the world's poorest people.

Visa, please
The Indian government outsources visa applications to a company that has set up an online form creation process. It works, but only after several attempts. The form will kick you out after a certain period of time (which saves some of the work, but not all), and if you don't upload a photo you can't save the text data on that particular page. Unite sent me a sheaf of documents via PDF that will have to be attached to my application, which I will have to now take to an office in Bur Dubai. Hopefully, I won't have to make more than one trip, but I'm prepared to make more. That's just the way things happen here.
