Wow, this is going to be a quick and hasty post but I wanted to tell you all we made it safe and sound and it is amazing. Sumathy and Ranjith are two of the most incredible people ever and take such good care of us and tell us to treat it all as our home. The children are absolutely adorable and the most caring children i have ever met. They take care of each other amazingly well, including feeding, waking up, showering.... basically, Susan and I are told to teach them English and love them and hold them. They won't let us lift a finger to clean or help with dishes or anything. They call us 'sister' and 'madame' and have the most amazing smiles in the world. Every single one of them, even under the most heartbreaking early life stories imaginable, are kind, helpfull, and just happy to receive a smile from us. I want to just bring them all home, but sadly India does not allow adoptions. So unbelievable, there are so many amazing children needing homes but these kids, they are in such a good place, I don't think they could be loved anymore.
Even as tired as both Susan and I are, we both know we made the right choice and for everyone reading this who donated money, clothing, time, whatever it was, rest assured that every bit of it is going to a wonderful place for children who will love it all!
We will take pictures and post them up to show the new dormitory to be built, as well as the new kitchen and dining room. And, of course, the children.... many many MANY pics of the children to come soon! Thanks to all, keep us in your thoughts, and know we are safe and sound and doing good things!

It is gratifying to be able to follow your exploits. It gives us a sense, though very slight, of the issues you are dealing with and the effort you are putting forth. Thank you so much for the opportunity.
You both are missed! I hope you have an incredible journey. The children are very lucky to be in your presence as you are as equally lucky. Teach them what you know and learn from them as you go. An inspiration, you are. I am so glad you made it safely.
Hi Kate, I was so glad to hear of your adventures as your mom and I caught up on news the other day.What a wonderful life experience for you and Susan. Please remember to stay centered and keep your personal energy up. Practice your yoga, India is where it all originated.I know you will be great with the children and you will feel so good every time you see them smile. Namaste, Tamara
