Good bye to Savarsai

I head out tonight to the Mumbai airport to meet Kerry and then head north to Nepal and northern India. It has been quite an experience here. I have enjoyed my 3months at the Ashram. We have been without power for 3 days now. We often loose power for a few hours each day, but this is the first time in six months that it has been so long. The solar cells were so dirty on the roof that we didn't even have our solar lights for the childrens dorm area. Dinner was by kerosene lamps each night. (we eat around 8:30pm) The drinking water is filtered with an electrical pump and so we ran out of water to drink for the second time this week. Our power was finally restored an hour or so ago. The managers are quickly trying to fill the water tank and make clean water in case it goes off again.

Next post will be from the himalayas.
