Namaskaram, Swagatham! - Hello, Welcome!
Day 5 - 04/02/09
Today i was at Cherumi centre again. We were teaching the children about different types of seeds, flowers, and trees. The older girls were quizzing me on their names and the nursery children were teaching me how to count in Malaylam! So overall i learnt a lot today!!
Day 6 - 05/02/09
Today we went to Poontura, a very poor area of Trivandrum. There we visited 2 nurseries, there were a lot smaller than the one at Cherumi, and had more children. There was a noticable difference in the standard of living betwwen Poontura and the area around Cherumi. During the afternoon we went into the city centre and i saw the Shri Padmanabbaswamy Temple, we weren't able to go in because we were in a hurry, but we are returning at a later date. Today i brought a Sari!! Unfortunatly you will have to wait a while for the photos because Suja needs to sew the top part of it.
I haven't been able to go swimming yet, although the sea is so close. I think i will go when Tara gets here. The food here is really nice although sometimes a bit too spicy to my liking!! They think it is strange that i am not used to spicy food, Whilst i am stuggling with a mild dish they are chomping away on chillies!
Suja sends her love to everybody and says that she is praying for Charlotte's foot to get better.
Love you all, xxxxxxxxxxx
