WE spent the morning in Richur walking through the slums with children from a "working school" ( which means children that have been taken out of the work force and sent to school), getting the word out for polio immunization day in India, which is January 10th. The children wore hats, masks, and had whistles letting everyone know abou the immunization day. It was a very touching day...we were able to meet many children and see how the poor class live. It is sad, the conditions that they are in. I can't imagine. The children were beyond excited to have their picture taken as well, it was just an honor for them to touch my hand,....they would run away with a huge smile on their face. I leave with a heavy heart, wishing I could do more..but where to begin? THis is one slum, in one city, in one country, in the WORLD! WOW!
