Monsooner or Later

Greetings -

Sorry it's been so long since my last update. Things have been...happening. Last week was pretty busy. We spent most of the days working in one of the slum schools. Please talk to our father about this. They are in the admission process right now and simply do not have enough space or teachers to accomodate all of the students that want to attend. The other day we had to send away mothers and their children crying because there was no space in the school for them. Especially ask that our father would provide teachers and soon. My teammate and I have been teaching the second grade class by ourselves because there is not teacher for that grade.

Last saturday was a day of rain. It rained close to 350mm and there was a lot of flooding, but fortunately there were very few serious injuries. The power was out most of the day and so we spent our time lying around the apartment sweating because the fans weren't on. Sunday night I began to feel sick and ended up with a fever for most of monday and tuesday. I went to the doctor tuesday and got some drugs and am feeling much better now. One good thing about the fever, though, was that I had some serious chills. I finally got to use my blanket at night! Please remember my health. I am not going to be here much longer and want to take full advantage of my time here.

If any of you have ever played the game frogger, you have a good idea of the traffic in India. The object of the game is to successfully move your character, a frog, across a busy street without getting squished by oncoming traffic. That is the beauty of traffic here. It's like a real life video game. For example, say I want to cross the street. There is no need to find a crosswalk, or "look both ways," simply step out into the road and don't get hit.
