Day 4

Well, the strike is on.  Very little traffic today, just a few rickshaws running.  Schools are all closed, all shops were closed.  Surprisingly, most of the kids in the two classes we did not see yesterday showed up, and we were done by 12:30.  Back at full strength, as John W. was back today. 

After finishing the first school, we had lunch and packed up for the move to the second school.  The strike will continue tomorrow, so we will see whoever shows up.  We got setup done around 3 pm, so had some time off, which was nice.  Of course, no shopping to do, so went back to the hotel for some relaxation.

Before dinner, the entire team got together to just visit about the trip, what they were experiencing and feeling, a very good meeting.  This has turned into one team, not an Omaha group and a Norfolk group, but one very, very good group of workers.

In our international dinner tour, we ate Chinese.  Great restaurant, ordered a bunch on items and passed them around. 

Tomorrow afternoon we will say goodbye to Carla, Celeste, Amanda and Linda, as they head to Bangalore for a day with Jeeva., then flying back on Saturday.  Provided the strike ends on Thursday, we will have a full group of students Friday, so will work hard on seeing them till early afternoon, then hopefully some sightseeing for the Flatland group before leaving late Friday night for their Saturday return.

We are all actively watching the weather forecast for Nebraska and wondering how it will affect our return flights.  It seems kind of cold there, around 90 here today!!

Saturday will be finishing up any kids we don’t see Thursday and Friday…yes, they have school Saturday morning here.

By the way, my lost bag arrived.  Chocolate for everyone!!
