It's nearly midnight and we are leaving for New Delhi and Agra at 3. I need some sleep.

Today was a great day. My group went out with Dr. Kumar to another colony and did the usual tests, cleansing and wrapping. Everything was an amazing experience again. We also went with him to check up on the pre-K kids who are starting at the school either next year or the year after. Oh my goodness, words can not describe how cute they were. Dr. Kumar did find signs of leprosy in one of the little girls, with painted on eyebrows and orange jasmine in her hair. It is good to find it quickly because a few months of medication and the disease is gone for good. It's so sad that's all that it takes, when caught early, but these people are just thrown out of their homes and because of lack of knowledge and/or money, they don't get treated until the deformities are so horrible that it is irreversible.

Playing with the kids tonight was just what I needed. It felt like ages since I'd seen them and they know exactly how to cheer me up! Abisha fell asleep on my chest while I told her, and the three other wee ones (Sabashti, Jaya Mary, and Sagaya Mary) the story of Goldie Locks.

I will miss all the little sweethearts while we are up north, but I'm so excited to finally ride my elephant and make another dream of mine come true. I'm not going to take my computer though so I'll be back on this blogging kick when we get home on Sunday.

Life is good!
