New Year update from India

Having a great time in India, all is well here, the people we are staying with are lovely and feed us delish food. It is great. They also have a roof which we can sunbathe on when having quiet time, which is fab, though my tan still looks rubbish, (I blame the factor 30 suncream). We have been to two orphanages this week, one that we went to help at and to clean, we will be visiting there again to help out with the kids, there are 40 children (mixed) and only 3 staff, so they really need it. Then we went to another where we painted some of the doors and the walls so that the kids would come back to a new year in a newly renovated home. It was really cool doing the painting, I felt like I was really putting something into something ... it was good anyway, and we took plenty of pics. Mine and Ilse's door was the best painted, the guys who worked there even said so! haha. Tomorrow we are going to the zoo which is great, and will be fun, we dont have to wear salwars on the day off, but pretty much the rest of the time we do. On friday one of the guys from Holmsted - Marcus is coming out to see how we are doing, he'll be here for 5 days, which will be a nice change! Loving it here, loving the people, loving my team and loving my Maker. Hope you are all well, and I send all my love. Laura xxx
