First day at school
Today we went to our Mobile Creche site for the first time, we got a local bus then a rickshaw to the site. This wasn't quite as manic as we had expected the buses to be, yes the first two buses were very full with people hanging out the doors, but the third one was better and we all managed to get a seat straight away for the whole journey. The site was quite remote, with the typical metal sheet houses and the construction sites in the distance. The kids were all well behaved but a few of them were obv quite scared of us as we were the first volunteers from sangam visiting this partucular site. The younger ones cried, they probably hadn't seen white people before cos apart from Sangam people, I have only seen one other white person in Pune! We played with some of the older kids and they were smiling and hopefully the younger ones will get used to us. There are three of us going to mobile creche together (google tara mobile creche) Te, Anna and myself. Kristen and Gerda are going to the doorstep school. I have found out I will be sharing with Kristen :) Had first Hindi lesson yesterday which was good but a bit confusing, we need to do lots of repetition to learn it, but it should be fun and we have loads of people to practise on.

Hi Hayley, that sounds great. I'm glad that children enjoyed being entertained.
