Cheers to All:
We finished week two in Bodhgaya, but we still have a lot of things to do. Sheri is a now a notable personality in Bakrour village. Strangers introduce themselves, or during conversation they'll say "oh! so you're Sheri gee". When we arrive at one end of the village, the far end of the village knows about it. We've been here long enough so that the little touts and pesky little street salesmen don't waste their time on us.
We're been getting some stuff for the school, and dealing with delays, and we're being familiarized with the headaches of cell phone internet, blue tooth technology, power and water storages, uninterrupted power suppliers, and battery and inverter systems. I think the simple things are best, like we bought a cricket bat for the kids and they loved it. Curtis rode on the back of a 100 cc motorcycle from Gaya with a load of books on his lap.
We had some weather the other night. It blew hard and rained a lot. The bazaar road in town switched from a dusty mess to a gooey wet mess. Power was out at the school more than usual so therefore they ran out of water. It's not easy being an orphan at the school, but in India, the alternatives can be unspeakable. The children at the school are made so happy with just the smallest touch or smile. They are so genuine.
Thanks to you all.
(And for those so inclined, tip a cold one for us)
