finally.....

for any faithful readers here are a few pictures of all that you read about.

our first day in kolkata, these ladies threw our marriage feast, we may have gotten giardia right here, what a first day.


another family we got to know that lived on the street. their little girl loved stephen, she'd come running every time she saw him.


urmilla and mohammad; the family that we got to know really well. we went to the village with them and took them to the doctor. there is a good chance we got giardia from eating with them too.

village life.

this is urmilla and mohammed's little boy who lived and went to school in the village while his parents lived on the street in the city.


we became celebrities when the camera came out, children flocked to us from all over the village.


brrrrrrr, darjelling.


ummmm, tea.


the christmas band that came through our hotel playing a spirited combination of jingle bells and for he's a jolly good fellow.

our christmas feast with the other volunteers.

sultana and i.

what?

I think we can all learn from that last picture. Let's all donate our eyes to someone.

I wanted an action shot of you hitting that guy in the back.

On a serious note, it's really cool to see the faces of the families you have talked about in your blog. It really helps us to share a little bit in your experience.

i LOVE that picture of stephen with the woman and many children in the village. sometimes, though, stephen almost appears to be superimposed in some of the photographs. did you really go to india? i agree with james. thanks for sharing. i very nearly cried at that picture of you with sultana, kristen.
