hey guys!
so i've come to the conclusion that bloging is possibly not my strongest suit. yeah honestly i kind of suck at it. its all right though because i've been keeping a pretty good journal and taking lots of crazy pictures. so i figure that any of you can just ask me all the questions you want and i'll be able to tell me all the stories you want to hear. However, to day i thought i'd give you a short little update.
so what’s been happening in the world of India, or at least my world of india... well its been just over 7 weeks now sense i left American soil and it feels like i've been in India for ages and like the days have flow; i feel like i've done and seen so much and so little, all at the same time. I've seen several temples, a run off of the Ganges river, a crazy cute bollywood movie, an amazing leprosy colony( and wounded people like i 've never seen and probably never will again) , played soccer/ climb on the foreigners with some adorable street children, had some good times with some amazing people from all around the world, traveled to Diamond harbor (what a trip), and continue to be reminded daily how hard i don't have to work and how much i don't have to worry in order to simply survive each day, compared to so many people here and around the world. Yet do how much i have and continue to receive, i've done and given back so little. Its over whelming some times the amount of people that end up in such dire, corrupt situations and appear to need so much help. yet, its just as astonishing how much you can receive from someone who you thought needed so much from you. but the numbers really shouldn't matter, we must keep fighting, around the world and at home, receiving and giving.
so any who, on a lighter note, sadly no longer working at Khaligat. but instead i'm at Shishu Bhavan and i lov it! I work with young kids, probably between the ages of 4 and 9. all of them have sever mental and physical disabilities. we spend our time there changing beds, changing the kids, feeding them , and playing with them/ doing exercise with them. is great. the kids, the masis (the native indian women who work there), the sisters, and the volunteers are all so nice.
anyway, that’s all i got for now and i'm praying for you all back home. you 've all been on my mind, especially since my time is soon coming to an end. it will be hard to leave but it will be good to come to the good old washington (not DC, as i say here).
all my lov always and God bless!
