WOW. It is hard difficult to explain in words what the experience of India is like. I have fallen in love with the children of India, their smiles, their hearts, and their souls. I’ll admit, I’m a germiphobe. But here in India, I hold their hands, kiss their faces, and wipes their noses. My friends and family would be proud of me. I now know the meaning of unconditional love. Regardless of how filthy these kids are, I can’t help but hug, and love them. I’ve also learned how difficult teaching is. I can’t explain the way your heart feels when a child answers a simple question like “what is your name?” or remembers something you taught them from the day before. It means so much because we are putting our whole hearts into this expedition. By the end of the school day (5:00 o’clock) I am so exhausted I can barely keep my eyes open. I am learning how to give my very best and I know we are making a difference.

P.S. I just ate a bug in my hot chocolate. I take back that part about not being a germiphobe.
