Monday, May 19
Our first day with the children was pretty overwhelming, in a good way. They are so energetic and excited about everything, you can’t help but be overcome by it. They are obviously intelligent, doing math and identifying colors and numbers in English with ease. Even when they struggle with some English, some things are beyond words, such as their beautiful smiles and eagerness.
Sarah and I started the first day off with a band, deciding to bring out the balloons right away. The kids blew us away with their energy! They seemed to never tire of running around ecstatically, tossing the balloons in the air and passing them to one another. We then moved to a more low key activity, drawing with the crayons Sarah so ingeniously brought.
By the end of the day, everyone was pretty tired. But the smiles never left their faces or ours, and overall the first main experience in India was a total success.
