TGIF! We had planned to be picked up at 8:45am Friday morning so that the Swabhimaan team could organize the school and be sure everything was just right, but that was just not to be the case; we left the hotel at just after 9:45am.
Although, we had a late start to the day it ended being absolutely wonderful. The kids, the teachers and all of the adults who joined with us in the activities had a fantastic time. We played, we learned, we laughed a lot and we made memories that will never leave us. I hope to hear good stories of some of these children making better lives for themselves than what they have now. I know we are making a difference, I just hope it is enough.
Here are some of the MANY photos that I took on Friday, but my colleagues have so many more. You may recognize some of these kids now because I have shown you them on previous visits, but hopefully you will enjoy their smiles as much as I do every time I go.

After all of the excitement, I was EXHAUSTED. I enjoyed a quiet evening eating some delicious butter chicken and noodles from across the street - thank you Eduardo, Kazu, Alessandra and Cristian for your wonderful company!!
