SATURDAY JUNE 10, 2006
Today was another 1/2 day. Actually, it was an optional day, and alst night I'd said to myself that I'd go if I woke up, which I did.
Most of the kids in the neighborhood were home and we were treated like celebrities. They kept asking us for our "autographs" so we'd write our addressed in their notebooks. Actually, one kids asked me at least three times to sign his book. I guess all white people do look alike.
One thing I've recognized is how much we take for granted. The people for whom we build the houses drink the water in India, without regard for the same things that we've been warned about. We can easily turn on a tap and drink the water without worrying about getting sick. Those kids int he village live in what we may consider to be squalor conditions, but they seem happy about it.
