just a quick note

This week we are working out of Siliguri. We are travelling to several villages, where Nerush, our local contact person, has arranged sort of a 4 part presentation: I tell a story and sing some song
s with the children, then Trent does a short presentation on first aid with the parents, then Leesa does a short presentation on hygiene, and then Bob does a short gospel presentation. Yesterday we were in Hatiduba, where Mahindra has started a middle school recently. The people were very interested, and sat and listened for what seems to me like a very long time. Trent and Leesa also did a little med check, for people who were interested, and since they had a bag stolen when they were on the train ( another story for a different time) , Trent went off to the local pharmacy to pick up a few supplies. He was very impressed.. the building is just a little low shack, but had everything he asked for, with no waiting.
Anyway, we are just heading out for the day, so I'd better go.
