We apologize that it has taken so long for us to post again, we have had problems getting an internet connection in our hostel, but it is like everyone at Rising Star says..."this is India". What they mean by that is for the most part in India nothing goes according to plan, but when things happen like the power goes out, or we get stuck in traffic, or the A/C breaks, all we can say is "this is India". We simply go with the flow and just experience everything to its fullest. When we do this, everything always turns out better in the end. Today (Tuesday) was our first full day with the kids. We started out working in the school helping the kids with one-on-one time and their reading. It was so fun to get to spend 40 minutes with an individual child and be able to see how far each child has already come and see how we will be able to help them so they can become even better at knowing English. We also had an incredible time getting to spend from 4:30-6:15 having play time with all the kids. It is so fun to watch all the little boys cling to Jojo and say "Uncle, Uncle carry me". By the end of play time everyday, Jojo is dripping with sweat because he is playing so hard. I have become very close friends with the sweetest girl and we played the entire time during play time. She loves to ride down the slide together and have me hold her up as she swings across the monkey bars. After only two days we feel the incredible impact that these children are having on us, and it only makes us more motivated and excited to help them in every way we can. Anyway, this is a shorter post because it is pretty late and Jojo is falling asleep sitting upright next to me, so to our sweet family and friends, we love you all and will talk to you soon! Thank you for all your prayers!
Jojo and Coco
