A day in the life

Today we spent time at the local school that is supported by the Grand Circle Foundation. The children were from kindergarten to 10th grade. Always a treat to meet the kids  one 6 year old stood out among the group of children. She recited a Hindu poem for us then translated our names on our name tags from Hindu to English. Her math skills are as spot on as her English and Hindi. We also spent time with a group of 11 year olds. They are as rowdy as 11 year olds are everywhere.

After we spent time at the school we walked to the home of one of the villagers and spent time with him and his family. His wife took us out to the weekday field where we helped cut the ajar with a curved blade.

Then it was off to the women's coop to see what they are making and selling and to have lunch. The proceeds of the sales go both to the women and a portion to the save the tiger program.

It's  now a 4 hour bumpy ride to the tented camp where we will spend the night

One more thing, Nasty Women, I was wearing my scarf when we saw the tiger. A very taste occurrence. I attribute our good fortune to you.
