Witness to Amazing Work

Day One of our service retreat was very moving.

We arrived during the After School program were students from the Bhatti Mines School, neighboring schools and girls who do not attend school go for tutoring.

Their desire to learn and their appreciation for the opportunity for an education was beaming simply beaming.
They were sitting in tight rows cross legged on the floor working diligently on their assignments. They would pop up to have their instructors check their work. Full of pride and excitement as they waited.

Santosh and his wife have affected change where customs go deep. I am so proud to be a witness to such amazing work.

Of note:
- I took 73 pictures today. A new record for me.

- Yesterday, I arrived at the ashram where we are to stay during our service retreat. The accommodations are rustic by our standards but very peaceful and nice.

- For those of you worried about me losing weight. The food is incredible and Mama Gee our host strongly encourages seconds and thirds.

- I awoke to the sound of a monkey landing on and scurrying across the metal roof.
