Thanks Hi Roger!
Glad you are enjoying the blog. It's such a different world here, it's really hard to capture all the sights and sounds (and definitely the smells!!).

Hey you Hey Cate -
Can't wait to see the bathroom...but you do realize your message was posted for everyone to read! LOL, well I'm sure they'll all be glad to hear about the bath and trip to Florida as well. I'll email soon. Having a great time, it's amazing. AND THE KIDS LOVED YOUR PLAYING CARDS, PENS, CALCULATORS, AND STICKY PADS YOU DONATED! Thanks. I'm bringing home some pictures they drew with the pens. But the little squirts are so greedy, they kept saying, "sister, give me pen." even though I had given them one already! They were adorable, even if a little manipulative...typical kids!
TTUS!
Looking good! Hey Michele,
Wow, it is great to read about your adventures.... love the pix too! Can't wait to see you! When are you coming back home? I'm leaving on November 19th to visit Susan for a week. Got in touch with my old friend Kim who works at Disney so looking forward to seeing her while I'm there.
Bathroom is finished, looks great, and working on getting the house back into shape. They had to empty the front hall and move things around in the living room, along with all the dust everywhere; I've just been cleaning everything! Blah, blah, blah....busy, busy, busy.....:)
Anywhoooo... Having sibs and friends for "Christmas in Belmont" on December 12th. Hope you are back and can come!
In the meantime, looking forward to more "Adventures in India with Michele". When do you go to Nepal???

So little Hey Shellie -
I really feel like I'm getting way more out of this than I'm giving, but I'm hoping the feelings of charity will spread and continue long after I leave!
thanks. Miss you and can't wait to catch up when I get back!!

Every rupee counts Yes indeed. I think it would be so great to talk with him and get him involved. That's exactly the idea I was hoping for!! And $1 goes a long way here, so you are correct that every penny helps...and Thanks for the feedback - I'm loving this trip (with interspersed feelings of fatigue). Talk to you when I get back!
xoxo

love to help Michele,
I'm always looking for ways to get Ben involved in charitable work. I'd love for you to share with him your experience with this school and maybe we can figure out a way to raise some money. We've done it before, usually for Save the Children, and while it's never very much, every penny (or rupee) counts! What an experience you are having! Thanks for the blogs and for opening our eyes to the blessings we have and the struggles so many children are facing.
Armchair traveler This is such an interesting trip - a bit scary but definitely very interesting. It's a great way for me to see the world with a friend from my computer.
Travels Thanks Vincenza! So glad you are enjoying the blog. I will be writing as time and wifi access permits. Take care and we'll talk to you when I get back. Maybe we can plan a little get together as well when I return.

Experience of a Lifetime Hey Michele,
I just read all your blogs and I'm living your amazing experiences through your vivid descriptions of your daily travels, including sights, sounds, and smells. Your photos really speak a thousand words. I look forward to reading your posts and seeing your photos as your journey continues. I love your photos with all the children, the Taj Mahal, and the one with you riding the elephant. You are to be commended for your courage to try living outside of your comfort zone. You're doing great!!! Keep up the posts. I look forward to reading your experiences.
Love Vincenza
In an effort to visit a country not just as a tourist but on a more local level, I am touring and volunteering in Nepal and India. I am creating this travelblog to document and share my experiences with those who are family, friends, future friends or just armchair travelers who wish to see the world vicariously through my eyes. My first adventure is to Dehli, India then off to Kathmandu and Chitwan Nepal.... full info
