thoisday

Today was a great day in Hyderabad. I got to see:

• a street children's center
• a shoe-making training facility
• a bag-making shop
• a notebook-making shop (these are all livelihood programs supported by sponsored mother's groups)
• an in-construction community center (that will house the notebook-making)
• an engagement party

I also:

• got a little sickly
• gave a presentation in front of like 150 social workers (maybe not that many, but it felt like that many, but it was great fun)
• had dinner at the Hyderabad coordinator (Suresh)'s home (he has the cutest little boy I have ever seen)
• visited other friends (yes, you can make dear friends within only a few days.)

Tomorrow we fly to Delhi for a bunch of interviews. It will probably be a nice change of pace, as we've had such a busy schedule since we arrived. And I'm excited to see Delhi.

Also, since I've apparently started making lists, I have one more point to add to my "to-do-upon-returning-to-the-states-from-india" list:

• organize my kitchen (Indians have the most immaculately organized kitchens! it's amazing!)

I'm pretty sure there was something else, but I can add it later. There are 6 more days, after all.
