Missed a day...

Looking over the posts, I see I missed our last day in India. We started out at IJM, then I met with a trust that is working on bio-pesticides and bio-fertilizers in conjunction with organic farming. The work they are doing is very interesting, and they are concentrating on the Dalit community.

Went to Jeeva's training center, tried my hand at stitching...not successfully. John had taught a class in English and continued his one-man medical camp.

After lunch, we went to the new orphanage building, it is about 30 days from completion. Then we got to meet the kids!! These are such special kids, many of them had their journals from 2 years ago when we first met them, with our names and notes. It is such a joy to spend time with them.

Of course, being India, the power went out so we had a romantic, candle-lit evening meal with them. Then many goodbye hugs, and off to the hotel for a few hours of sleep.
