Day 21: Bring on the Monsoon

Okay so I have been really terrible at this whole blog thing it turns out...but I will try to be better, I promise! So let me just catch you up on the last couple of crazy weeks. Last week, I worked at an orphanage called Sparsh Balgram for a few days and it was absolutely incredible. I have never seen more inspiring, respectful, cooperative and eager to learn kids. They were so happy to be able to talk to us and play games and I thoroughly enjoyed my time there with them. I was able to teach the older kids some English and mostly help them with their spelling and pronunciation. In return they taught me some Marathi and shared with me some songs and dance. Here are some pictures:





On another note, this weekend I travelled to Mahableshwar, Maharashtra, a beautiful hill station 3 hours from Pune. Unfortunately for us, it was pouring rain the entire weekend! We trekked quite a way to see the view, but the fog made it incredibly hard to see anything. I guess everything here isn't roses and sunshine, so I have tried to make the most of it! It was a crazy trip, but I survived!



Anyways, that's all that I really remember from the past couple weeks!

Much love,
