So then, here we go with another fun filled fact fantastical bonanza from the depths of the deepest darkest farmlands of South India.
Things this past week have continued as standard really, finding little ways to help which have been buying some clothing. The youngest of all the children is two his name is Santos here's a quick pic of him;
Bit of a cutie isn't he :) Anyway I noticed he had no chuppal, (that's shoes to you and me) after he got a thorn in his foot so I got him some snazzy little sandals. Actually a lot of the kids here go barefoot I think that may be a job for the future, but it will be a relatively expensive one so I'll wait a little while and see how the budget goes.
We also got some new Lungi for a couple of the men here as theirs were old & ripped. Now a Lungi is a sarong type thing (that's a skirt to you and me) which is very popular with the men here. Here is a pic of Marimutu sporting this sexy little number;
Another thing I noticed was that at prayer time the children were fighting over the songbooks as there aren't enough to go around, also the few they do have are seemingly about to turn to dust so we will be providing them with new ones in a few weeks when I go into Madurai city again to visit Gnana & his wife. When there I am being taken to visit the school we support at church (I forget the name, I think it's Malikudai or something like that) So that's something I'm really looking forward to reporting back to you about with pictures and videos for more of your viewing excitement.
Ohhh the bell ringer thingy has just gone its coffee time so I'm off for my 4pm caffeine fix. Bye for now Hospice fans take care!!! Stuart :) x x x
