My New Home :)

So here i am outside mine and Rose's room; we have a double bed, shelves, wardrobe a western toilet, a fridge and a fan - everything you could possibly need and only a 30 second walk away from work!

And this is the view from the opposite direction looking out from our front door. The larger trees are coconut trees and the smaller banana trees - when kids forget their plates or on special occasions they cut down the leaves and eat off them :)

 Rose and i in our first saris! had to have lots of help from the girls at the hostel - wrapping them is so complicated! Thank you Abi (on the left)

These are the secondary children at their daily whole school assembly not looking particularly interested in what the headmistress has to say.. some things never change...

This is my preschool class having there lunch! Absolutely adorable! This is about as quiet as you will ever see them :) Just to add we also eat with our hands sitting on the floor with the other children at the hostel. An excellent way to get to know them but i still havent quite perfected the art of eating curry with my hands!

And finally this is the view outside the internet cafe i sit right now! A typical Indian street scene, now i will head back to the train station, catch a 20 min local train, catch a shared Auto Rickshaw to Kasuva village and walk back to Sevelaya - the place im begining to call home :)

This mine and Rose's rather messy bedroom - with a huge mosquito net that attempts to protect from god knows what other lodgers also share our room....

This is the primary school where I teach in the morning. At 9.15 they gather for meditation and prayer the lessons start at 9.45.

 Here is the secondary school where is teach as a 'supply' teacher with Rose. These children are very hyperactive and hard to control but i think slowly but surely we are getting somewhere and managing to teach them something.
