Friday May 23
Today was Sylvia’s 4th birthday, so the children had already had some cake by the time we arrived in the morning. Because of this they were super hyper and it was some time before we were able to settle them down to work on some math or English. I worked with one of the older children and was very impressed by her subtraction skills. Some other nuns were visiting Assisi Illam today because they all need to decide to which homes they would like to transfer. They were all very friendly and sat with us for lunch. A priest also stopped by to wish Sylvia a happy birthday. Tonight we drove to Pondicherry, which used to be a French settlement. Stephen told us that the French left peacefully in 1954. But it will be interesting to see the differences between the French and Indian sides of the city.
