Hey guys so I think the last time I wrote I was in Aurangabad at the Ellora Caves. Since we have gotten back to Mumbai a lot has happened. We came back on Sunday night and unpacked, did our "laundry" and all that. Then on Monday morning we left for a suburb/neighboring village called Panvel. We were told there wasn't going to be air-conditioning and that we would be living under mosquito nets again. We thought it wouldn't be that bad considering that in...

Hey guys! So we are in Aurangabad at the Ajanta and Ellora caves this weekend. It has been a long day and there is no power in our hotel so we are at the internet wasting time.

They used huge, hopefully sterile forceps and pulled the baby right out. CRAZY. We also saw plastic surgery on the hand of a lepro...

Hey everyone! Just wanted to write and say I got to Mumbai safely haha. It was a crazzzyyy plane ride. They board like 5 flights out of one gate and it is NUTS! haha our plane was one hour late and we got to Mumbai just soaking wet with sweat. It is SO hot and dirty here but it is nice because it is way more tropical. We have only had one day of clinic and it was just a lecture about the demographics of Mumbai, there are 15 million people, 60% of them are poor, e...
