Why did we go to India???

When most people think of India, 
this is likely what comes to mind...





 Why did the cow cross the road??
Because he could!  Cows have the right-a-way everywhere!


 Yes Grandpa Roger, this woman was taking a dump.

A lot of rice to be picked because 
there's a lot of rice to be eaten!

What you see is what you get...
Intestines, Head and all!

Multipurpose river, good for disposing of "all" forms of waste, 
doing laundry and bathing too...

 Home sweet home...

Keep your wits about you when you're walking around this place.

How would you like to use this for your bathroom??

But when I think of India,
this is what I recall...

smiling faces...






friendly waves as we drive through the village and city...




joy and laughter...




fun and games...




dead snakes...

wonderful celebrations...



warm welcomes in people's homes...


being well cared for...







and loads of LOVE...





That's why we went to India!!!!

Aside from all that I want to show you some of my favorite pictures...


One of my most favorite moments was when I got to meet the little boy I sponsor.
His name is Jaya Santhoes Kuntale
isn't he CUTE!

I also got measured for my  outfit by someone who is half my size...
(She seems to think something is funny???)
Maybe it's my t-shirt.


Once again it was an amazing trip
the experience of traveling to India, well to put it simply...
It's changed my life! 

Thank you for taking time to read my post,
I hope you might think of India a little differently after you read this.
Lot's of Love!
Olivia!


P.S. Many of you have asked what the distance is between the orphanage and school 
and what the road looks like, well we got it on video.
