Wow im back and quite jetlagged. Just briefly, I have been to India as part of the work I do with the Charity Micah's Call International, a charity set up by myself and freinds last year. we went to visit the needy childrens home that our partner organisation runs and where we have children who we sponsor.
There was 5 of us from the UK, and I will just mention some higlights - going to a mountain resort with and English climate - Indian food - meeting village people all over the area - spending time with our Christian brothers and sisters - relaxing in a convent rest house and being invited to choir practice - stopping off in Sri Lanka on the way home - visiting Bangalore - eating nice food - again.
Generally we had a great time. I think all of us were really impacted by the lives the people there lead, even though we don't fully understand thier culture at all. The children were the highlight, they dont have TV's or gameboys or any of our normal luxuries but thier happiness was so real and infectious, they were content and at hme through all thier struggles and loss. Truly amazing.
