Kirra's new pictures

Kirra was able to send some more pictures so I am posting them. I will let her put a description of some of them that I am not sure of. She said she is very happy there (although still more homesick than she thought she would be) and is so excited to start taking day trips into the schools to spend time with the kids... no sleeping in the rain. They are done going into the villages due to the amount of (constant) rain/storms that they will have from here on in. The last village trip it was raining most of the time and they slept in a place where the owner used to keep their livestock so you can imagine how inviting that might have been :)

The girls at an engagement party for one of the women living there. Kirra said it was the best party and they danced all night.

I love this picture. So Kirra

Kirra and one of the only girls she has met that is around her age.

I don't know but this one looks pretty feisty!

Kirra and the other girls bought the little girls to their camp spot and washed all their hair and then braided it and made them feel special.

Looking down from above the clouds into a village

Kirra & Shooshma after they bandaged her up. This little girl will have a special place in Kirra's heart forever.



They all love hugs



I can't remember, will have to go back and check her e-mail (and its 1:58am right now)

One big bad monkey that sits in the front yard.

This is the village they went into and knocked on every door and handed out seeds. Then went back with bibles to anyone that wanted one.

Even in India, kids love an IPOD.

The little girls put Hena on the older girls and then received some artwork from the team. Kirra can't wait to bring some home!!!!

Kirra on her 3rd cup of Chi, although she said she still doesn't really like it? (But she had to replace her Starbucks addiction with something, right?)

A temple they pass on one of the paths

Was anyone wondering if it got cold there at night after the hailstorms? Kirra left her TOMS out after a big storm... but they are TOMS... she dried them out and still good as new!

Kirra and the kids in the village

I am guessing she has quite a few of these pictures. Kirra getting to hang with the people she loves best... the kids!

Kirra, Dani & Emily on the way to the village. She loves these girls

  1. We're so glad you posted more pictures. We were dying to see more of where you were and the people you were meeting. It certainly looks like you belong there. Those kids must have really taken to you. i was thinking. The ipod must seem like a little bit of magic to them. I'll bet they don't see much technology like that.
