My Boys

So, this post is all about my boys. There are 4 here at the school that I would love to take home or sponsor. Unfortunately, they all have 4 and that is the next maximum...so sad!!
They always run up and hug me and make me feel so special!
I wish is could bring them all home!!!

Cars! Cars! Cars!

Every Thursday, we have a special activity night with the kids. Normally we only do one house, but I brought enough cut out cars for all the boys (80) to have one. Last Thursday, we worked with 40 of the boys (in groups of 20) helping them cut, fold and tape their cars.
The older boys were able to cut their own and fold, although they all needed some help doing the tap. They were so cute! I loved watching them do it. I also brought enough stickers for all the boys to be able to cover their cars with them and they loved them!
Here they all are with their cars:

Dehli Trip!

Well, we just got back from a 3 day trip to Dehli! We saw the Taj Mahal, Agra Fort, the Lotus Temple and much, much more. We saw the craziest things on the road and all sorts of animals. It is so weird to see cows just lying on the road and watch all the people just swerve around them.

Below are some pictures of the Taj:


This is at the Lotus Temple:This is where we got to ride camels, elephants and hold the monkey...good thing it can also check for lice!
When we toured around the city, we ran into a rain storm and got drenched! Because of that, we all had to change into any dry clothes that we could find. At the restaurant, I was also crazy enough to hold a cobra...not going to lie, it was a little un-nerving!We are now back at Rising Star, prepared to hang out with the kids some more. Nice to not have to ride in a bus/plane all day long.

All in a day's work

So sorry for the delay. We had a huge storm and the internet went out so I have not been able to post for a while. Each day we get put in different groups: Medical, Education or Construction.

For medical, we went to a colony washed and rewrapped bandages of the locals. Here I am taking their blood pressure and charting.

That night we had a pole hugging contest...most people were able to stay up for a few minutes...I did not try it.

Here is us doing construction (this time we just picked up trash, but today we will be painting). It is pretty amazing!

More to come later!
