Saturday in the Children's Home

 It's Saturday morning in Dharwad, India, and time to leave our guest house and go play with the children. We're wearing our new Indian clothes for the first time, though we doubt anyone will mistake us for Indian women!

Here's what we see as we look back at the guest house
And here's the street view directly outside the gate
Along the way we throw away our trash at the neighborhood trash disposal

Our fresh orange and banana peels are met with enthusiasm

The girls are just coming home from their Saturday morning school--
just a half day on Saturdays
Lara and Emily pose with the elementary school girls
in front of the gate to the children's home


The girls immediately start their Saturday washing

Laundry hanging to dry in the breezeway

Always time to play
The kitchen preparing lunch
 
Our lunch: rice, lentil sauce (dahl), and vegetables (today it's green beans)
 
Delicious!

The dining hall
Chandrakala, Sushmita, Ina, and Jyothi

  1. You both look wonderful and as if you are falling right into the lifestyle! Again the pictures are amazing. Not sure about the garbage area, but at least it's an area and not the whole place. Please forgive my ignorance having never left the comfort of the USA.
