hey there people out there in cyberspace
there seemed to be some technical difficulties for this last posting
and now it is lost in the vast and confusing land that is the internet
but Kolkuta was an amazing experience for all of us
there was a general consensus that volunteering was quite the worthwhile experience
I know personally I had the great fortune to work with four young kids
all who were orphans and hiv positive
they were so incredibly vivacious and happy
these kids have so much in the world going against them yet they always are running around with grins on there faces
and food stuck to them too!
While we were in town we celebrated the blessed nativity of our fearless leader Karen
we went to Bar B Q a very fancy Chinese restaurant
and we bequeathed her with quite possibly the largest grapefruit any of us have ever encountered
overall it was a wonderful ringing in of Karen’s twenty sixth birthday
We also had the great fortune to be in Kolkuta for Holi
Which is quite possibly the best holiday
EVER
for those out there who are not well versed in Hindu holidays,
Holi
well,
i don’t actually know what holi is exactly celebrating but you throw colored powders at eachother
which is SO MUCH FUN
many of us suffered for a few days because we were either pink or had new hair colors
by far Chrys suffered the worst
and her hair still looks like cotton candy
but we all enjoyed getting our holi on!
