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!
