On Saturday, we gave shots in Kumara Bommaraja Puram. It was about 30 minutes away. Don't look for it on Google maps because I doubt it is there.
We gave the shots in a school. It was a public school that had about 200 kids. They teach 3 languages: Hindi, English, and the Telagu. They go to school 6 days a week and the teachers make about $275 per month. The kids were excited to practice their English on us. The rooms were basic, and of course they had outdoor toilets. They also had an outdoor kitchen and classroom.
On Saturday night we had an event with the Good Shepherd kids. We gave them the gifts that we brought. Each child also received a set of clothes from us. (The clothes are not ready-made. Everyone over here buys fabric at the textile shop and then has a tailor make the clothes. I had 2 shirts made for me and I paid the tailor $4 total. I splurged on the fabric because it cost $6 total.) It was bittersweet watching the kids get their stuff. They were excited to get these trinkets. Hair ribbons. Pens. Calculators. Markers. I felt guilty thinking about all of that stuff I have just thrown away at home. We are lucky.
On a final note, I saw something truly amazing on the back of a motorcycle today. Me.
