Before i start -Time for a apology. Sorry for the not blogging in a while! Got a few half done blogs stored away... Look out for them when I finally finish and stick em on here!
So I am currently in India! I arrived with a team from Queen Ethelburga's College (a school I went to a long time ago- feels like a ago lifetime now). Staying with these guys was lovelyy! Bits of drama, illness and stupid stuff but overall it was nice to be around QE people again.
When we arrived in the orpheanage we were greeted with music, flower necklaces, petals thrown on us, the kids singing and hugging us. Was so cute! The orphenage is in a place called vellatur which is in rural Southern India.
While the QE lot were here I've been super busy! I've been made the 'communications director' at the orphanage (can I put that on my cv?) I have been working at 6am to move sand and rocks onto the first floor of the school to make cement for the roof beams (lots of stairs with heavy stuff - every day has been leg day). Managed to get back in the classroom some afternoons which is great. We painted the playground which resulted in the team painting each other too...
Playing with the kids at the orphanage is a job in itself. They have so much energy and the heat/humidity seems to suck all energy out of me!
Lots of work! (Sorry for poor photo quality)
The kids here are mischievous, cute and insanely happy that I'm here. They love cuddles and they really want me to remember their names (which is a struggle with 150 of them and only one me). It's also great to see how proud they are to be Christian (and how excited they were when I told them I was a Christian too!). They are so loud!
Managed to get myself a beautiful sari! (Sorry for the terrible photos...) The food here has been so good! Spicy...but tasty :) 
So the QE lot left a couple of days ago and I've got a week of bits of bobs to do before a bunch of americans arrive here.
Look out for more!
