Visited the childrens' hostel in Maliya Hatina

The highlight of the last few days was driving out to Maliya Hatina where I got to meet about 30 of the children we have sponsored including the girl I began sponsoring two years ago! They were all very well cared for and I even got to interview the principal of the school. This school has won top awards in sports and academically and they are the best one in the whole of Gujarat. It was way better than I had ever expected. I saw some children eating in the dining rooms and we visited both the boys and the girls dormitories, once again the pictures shall be posted soon!

The not so good side was being in places with tons of garbage strewn around and seeing cows, dogs and pigs all over the street (together with a lot of cow dung that we learned to dodge very quickly!). The cows were also used to eating the paper garbage and we saw a calf just having been born about 20 mins before. Very limited internet time out here, bye for now.
