Oh my what a busy day today…It all started at Tina’s breakfast café where I gorged myself on oatmeal, eggs, coffee and the best fruit salad this side of the Ganges! Mona and I then headed into town to pick up shirts she had made for her husband, and I picked up some hang tags I had made with a local printer. Despite the monumental size breakfast we had, Mona and I found ourselves famished by lunchtime so we headed to KD road to Casino Park. Yummy! Then off to Meena’s to check out her collection of silver jewelry – no need to be jealous - I am bringing some home with me for everyone to enjoy :) She has an amazing collection of high quality pure silver – bracelets, anklets, necklaces, pendants, earrings, toe rings…..whatever your heart desires ladies! We spent quite a bit of time there looking at jewelry, chatting with Meena and her husband, and of course drinking Chai! Then it was off to Tina’s.

We met with Tina to run errands – the first of which was to buy four school chilren’s uniforms, four pairs or shoes, and four pairs of socks. From there we headed to the Convent to drop off the supplies for the fifty orphan girls. The children there were truly delightful – they were all so very happy and full of radiating energy. I stood amongst these children and felt so blessed to get to see EXACTLY who we are helping. Tonight was really special for me because although you can just donate money to some cause you likely don’t a clue exactly what or for whom the money will be used for – but tonight we not only got to see how the money was used, but also for whom! To me, there is nothing more satisfying! Thanks again to everyone who has helped me help the kids in Mysore – I am truly grateful to you all!
