Bangalore Backtrack

---

We were in Bangalore for 3 weeks after Hyderabad (which was week 6 of our journey!). Week 7 was spent partially ill & 3 days running a VBS at a home nearby. The week after (week 8) we helped out with the VBS & the kids from the slum down the road at the BEC here. VBS's are Vacation Bible Schools where disadvantaged kids from the area get a big special extra program of activities, education, games, singing, dancing, acting, good food, new clothes & a well needed bath too! They're lots of fun!!! so that totally consumed our time & attention!


Life was basically filled with alot of children & young people & was a great finale to our stay in Bangalore!

hope you like the pics of these gorgeous kids!!
