We went to AM Mathew's orphanage on the outskirts of Mumbai yesterday. On the driver there, I had a young boy come up to my window asking for money for food. It's hard, cause back home, I can easily give a homeless man a few bucks to grab a bite to eat, but it's not like that here. The kids will get drawn into the street and can get hurt in traffic.

We nod our heads 7 they kinda do the bobble thing, it looks really cool & I have a feeling I'm going to be doing it without knowing it shortly. The children came in and gave us bundles of flowers, they were very beautiful. These children were so excited that we were there! I made up this dance off the top of my head that they got a kick out of, Allison jumped in & before you know it, we had the whole upstairs singing & dancing & laughing. They wanted us to right our names in their notebooks, on their hands (their hands are so tiny, it's so adorable) they wrote us letters, we did a skit & we playd football, in the states it's called soccer by some & the boys said I was really good "for a girl" too cute!!!!! So, of course I got a picture with my football team. I didn't want to leave there at all. I could've stayed there forever & played with those children, & that was just the first one we went to!
