Tonight was to be our make or break meeting.After a good 4 months of searching for venues in the central Mumbai area - where our dear friends seemed to visit every school and college possible - it all looked like a dead-end.
We were getting ready to tell our friends who have been faithfully coming to help us organise the Youth Against AIDS Fest on Dec. 6th: "Thanks for the hard work - but we won't be having a Fest this year after all."
A series of places were lined up - and based on verbal 'OKs' we had even started a limited amount of publicity - and then they folded - each one of them.
The latest was just 5 days ago.
It seemed impossible. We prayed. Your will be done.
On Tuesday morning a call was made.
On Wednesday two of our staff paid a visit to do an initial recce and meeting.
Today we met with the Conference Superintendent. All decks are cleared. The Free Methodist Church has agreed to host the YAA Fest 08 in their Andheri Church premises. Our staff just got back from Andheri with the permission letter in hand.
We are totally thrilled. The organising meeting - the one which was to be our 'last meeting' will start in 1.5 hours. We have lots to plan for - Say YAA to Truth! is underway at last!
