Arrived at the orphanage at about 10:45.It was in the middle of wash time for the children.The younger ones
are washed by the Didis. They are massaged first to remove all the dead skin and the wet with cold water from a jug.Fully soaped and then jug rinsed.It is carried out with precission.All the children have clean water and the minimum amount of water is used.I was very impressed with the care taken.
I then took some of the younger school age girls and made origami cranes(Tamar you would be proud of me)
They were very good at it and enjoyed making them.If we can tomorrow(they have tomorrow and Monday off school because of the Teej Holiday for women) we are going to string them together and hang them in their room.
After lunch I met the older boys as they live in a separate building.They appear very confident.They are chatty,inquisitive and fun.Typically for most boys they were playing football but also spent a large part of the time making paper aeroplanes.
It was a really good day.

  1. HI Carounn, sounds like you're having an amazing time! I'd like to do all that yoga - but I don't think I'd manage the early start! What time do you go to bed?

    Hope it continues to go well - we're enjoying reading all about it lots of love, Sarah, John, Max and Millie xxx
