Yesterday I helped Dr. Kumar at the school, doing checkups on the new students. Most of them were little 5 year olds (with serious earwax buildup). It broke my heart to hear them cry when their tini fingers were pricked in order to find their blood type. We also helped make bandages and gauze pads.

We painted on a section of the wall behind the elephant house, using our hand prints. It turned out really cool. Play time was super fun. I danced with a bunch of the girls and we mad little movies with my camera. Naturally I will always cherish them. Dinner was delish, of course, and after homework time we headed back to the house.

All of us are split into three groups, Scorpions, Cobras, and Shakti. These groups rotated through construction, medical and tutoring. Our Scorpion team came up with a song to help us get through a particularly hot a tireing construction day. We decided to propose a cheeroff-slash-dance off. Once we all got home the three teams tool their turn and we ROCKED! There were also a few other little ditties performed and Derek and I had to have a dance off for the trophy. It was so much fun. All of us were just going nutso dancing and singing and playing until nearly 2 in the morning.

I love it here so so much. Even though the day was pretty chill, it was another perfect day. Each one is just wonderful in India.
