Back now in Delhi after our lovely time in Goa -
memories to ponder on as we bump along the busy, noisy roads again on our way
to Ekta Vihar. It has been lovely to see
our students again and they were thrilled to be back speaking English with us,
singing, creating and playing games.
Their enthusiasm and smiley faces are a joy to see amongst very
challenging living conditions made even harder during these winter days. This morning there was thick fog which
lingered till midday and it was quite chilly.
As we walked back through the slum at the end of
our day, there was a happy group of men sitting around their 'hookah' pipe - I
was very tempted to find a stool and sit with them ( Ken might have been a bit
shocked if I had!) but instead I asked if I could take a photo to send back to
England - they were delighted :
Yesterday we had a lovely surprise visit from
our friend Naresh Whig who is in Delhi visiting family. He whisked us off to The Grand Hotel for a
delicious glass of wine and snacks - extremely pleasant! Thank you, Naresh. We had a lovely time catching up with
him. Somehow, seeing people from our
life in England makes the world seem much smaller and that we are not so very
far away at all!
Saturday tomorrow and we will be teaching, so
lots of preparation tonight.
Best wishes to you all.
Heather and Ken XX
