Hi everyone
The past few days have been a busy time of learning names and routines. The children go to 4 different schools and leave a 6:00 am all the way to 11:30 am for school. They wake up at 5:00am and start washing up and getting dressed, prayers are at 6:00 and then hot soy milk and the high school children head off on the bus, then homework and breakfast at 9:30. The countryside is beautiful and the rickshaw that I catch to come to town is a lot of fun. It is called a 6 person ricksaw, but 8-12 get squished in most times. I find the people here very friendly and I have met so many interesting people commited to helping India's poor and landless, encouraging children to stay in school.
The bike in this picture is new and the children are excited to have a ride. The bike was donated by the woman in the picture so that the Tribal Ashram in the town of Pen can come out and get fresh soy milk from Child Haven on the weekends. I tried to up load a few more pictures but I am having some technical difficulties. Will try again next week. Love Beth

Hello Beth,
I have been wanting to sent you a few words for a while, with the earthquake happened in Haiti and trying to get my mom in Canada take all my energy, most of all I have to keep my mind straight to do my work at the Day Care. I am emotionally drained, enough of me. I see you are have fun and learning at lot. How wonderful to know that you are actually living your dream; you are my kind of women. Hugs and kisses may peace be always with you.
