Bekah just sent me several questions she wondered about so thought I'd post my answers to her in case you were wondering also:
- Are you working with the disabled children anymore or have you been moved to a different unit? Dad works all day with disabled boys 5- to 17 yr old. I work with him in the a.m. and with normal 2-3 yr olds in the p.m..
- If so, are you separated and do you feel safe being separated from one another? We feel very safe though we are cautious and carry only small amount of cash and when I'm alone, I walk fast and don't talk to anyone.
- Where are you sleeping? We are in a dorm room for four but we rented the whole room for two weeks. It's like a business/conference center one the bottom floor with rooms for those attending on the top floors. It's fairly clean, has air, and we have our own bathroom with hot water to fill pails that we use to wash us and our clothes in.
- Where do you check the internet and how fast is the internet connection? Lots of internet cafe's close by and the connection is a bit slower than USA but not as slow as dial up!! The trickiest part is that the keys stick.
- Where do you eat? We have been eating lunch in our room as we brought peanut butter and can buy bread easily. For supper, we walk the street looking for different places. Dad usually picks as I usually end up ordering bread and Coke and tasting whatever Dad orders. He has loved trying lots of Indian dishes and of course, loves them all. Diet Coke is a rarity in India--as our heavy people so they really don't need diet soda - so I buy two or three when I find them as we have a frig we can use where we are staying.
- Do you have any free time and if so, what do you do during this free time? Not much free time but we try to walk to a different area each night in search of a place to eat. Thursday is the only day off and so we'll be writing about what we do those days.
