Today was an INCREDIBLE day.
We spent all day with our individual sponsor children. I had the chance to meet Tushar, mine and The Hub’s sponsor child…who was the most ADD, hyperactive, bright, hilarious five year old I have EVER EVER met.
We are about to head out and meet with some LDP (Leadership Development Program) students. The Compassion Leadership Development Program is a unique program that targets these outstanding high school graduates who want to pursue a post-secondary education but lack the money to do it.
Anyway, until I can find the time to put everything together and introduce you to Tushar (because trust me – you do NOT want to miss this kid!!!) I thought I’d leave you with a quick video of what a typical day looks like here in India. Several of you asked some questions in the live chat we did last night (this morning for us) and I hope this gives you a glimpse inside our day.
Sans all the crying we do back at the hotel.
And the 120 degree weather.
And all of our BO.

The project in this video still had about 90 kids who haven’t been sponsored. If you’d like to meet some of them, you can click here.

Anne – thanks so much for sharing your stories, pictures, and most of all your honest feelings on all that you’re experiencing. While I have found enormous lessons in seeing second-hand what y’all are doing there in India, at the same time I can’t help but ask “why?” I am happy to see that you met Tushar and that he is apparently such a joy to be around. I’m praying for y’all and your end of your trip! Thanks again for allowing us a little peek into what y’all are doing.

Who is the girl singing with Shaun? I still haven’t quite pieced together who everyone is on this trip… You, Ang, Pete, Melissa, Spence, Shaun. Who else?

Thanks Anne…I haven’t cried in a good hour and then you hit me at the end of the video. ;)
I’m so broken since last nights chat. In a good way. Just trying to figure out what and how and everything else here in my blessed life.
Praying for all of you.
Blessings,
Fran

Anne,
Thanks so much for all the videos. I can’t begin to tell you how powerful they are.
Sailor Scott – I could be wrong, but I think the girl singing with Shaun is Keely (the trip photographer).
suh-weet.
I can’t wait to hear more about your visit with the Leadership Development Program students. I so want to do this… just trying to figure out how to afford it.
And so happy you met Tushar!
