Last Day...

He recited a sweet little rhyme

I thought by Monday I couldn't handle another Rotary project, I was getting a bit grumpy, maybe that was my homesickness coming out, but I was tentative about this last visit. Boy, was I wrong! Capt. Kumar is the Rotarian who organized most of our travel arraignments and this last day we saw his pet project, a vocational school in the slum area of Delhi. We took a bus to a certain point, then the streets got too small and we transferred to 3 cars. We saw classrooms of small children, rooms for tailoring and embroidery, beauty school and a computer room. In the beauty area I got some lovely henna! The children's area was so cute, they would stand up and recite a little poem in English, although it was quite hard to decipher I couldn't stop smiling. It was so adorable. 

What's also very cool is that sewing machines are often given to the women after they complete their courses and they can provide themselves with an income! It's about $45 USD to purchase a non-electric sewing machine that can change a person's - no a family's- life! Maybe my Project Runway friends would be interested in buying a few machines, to support fellow designers! :-)
