Tea Anyone?

Every morning I make tea or coffee. But the mornings we have to rush out of the house early, i usually don't get to finish so i've poured it in a cup and taken it with me. (Steph gives me a hard time for being a slow drinker.)Well, as you can imagine, Indians aren't walking around with cups in their hands. They have their tea, drink it, and are done with it. But of course, us Americans love our to go cups...lids, etc. So drinking my tea in a rickshaw has been a skill that I've attempted to perfect. You really have to time it right. The pot holes, gear changes, and bumps in the road make it a bit of a challenge. So far there haven't been many spills. One morning I even got Su to bring hers with us. Steph would die if she knew.

Sunita


I've mentioned Su before. I can't say enough about her. She's amazing. She's great with the girls. They really open up to her. She always knows how to handle situations, as you can imagine the things they are discussing with her. There's more that I'd like to say about them, but out of respect for the girls and the caretakers I won't. Considering the circumstances, I'd say everyone is doing all they can.

It's Sunday Funday

So i'm doing my postings for the week. Sorry i wish i could post them gradually, but it's a challenge to get to it during the week. I needed a new addiction and since I don't have my Alias, or 24 dvds here i decided I should give LOST a try. Haven't been a fan. Will let you know if i get hooked.

Trash

The trash man comes everyday. Well he's suppose to. He wasn't coming to pick up our trash and we ended up having a creature visit us. a rat. not my favorite. this was a problem for about a week. until i got some rat cake at the store. He ate it all and hasn't come back. Now I make sure to set an empty water bottle outside to lure the trashman upstairs to pick up our garbage. They recycle the plastic so it has some value. So far it's been working.

Making up for lost time.

Sorry to go dark on you! No I didn’t get swallowed by the monsoons, and thankfully I wasn’t down for the count. Just had a busy week and then the internet was down all weekend. Thanks for your emails & interest!

This Week

This week we have a few meetings to try to register iSanctuary here in India. Please pray for us, that we get the right contacts to help us accomplish this task, and that we set it up the best way possible. Also, it’s time for me to start on some photography, which will be the beginning of a large project. Thanks to Mark our graphic artist and photographer, I’ve got what I need. Pray I’m able to capture the images we need. Photographing the girls anonymously is going to be a challenge.
