Today we visited the school and village at Pu where we had another really enthusiastic welcome. The young people danced for us and later on the girls had Indian dance lessons while the boys organised a football tournament. Dancing and playing football in 40 degree heat was a little challenging (thanks for that quote head girl) but we coped admirably and Miss Jones has developed a few new dance moves.
We also visited the primary school where we heard the children singing The Wheels on the Bus and Old MacDonald Had a Farm and we taught them One Finger One Thumb Keep Moving. There is a whole generation of children in India who will now grow up able to sing in a Dundee accent!
Later in the day we visited the village. This was fun, thought provoking and emotional (thanks depute head girl for that quote) as we were followed by all the children from the village and we received invitations from them to visit all their grannies and aunties. We were invited into several homes and this really drove home the reality of the absolute poverty people experience on a daily basis. Despite their circumstances everyone we met was very happy and appreciated what they have. Our young people realise now how fortunate they are.
More great photographs, is Miss Flynn camera shy?
Have a great weekend, hope you have organised a shopping trip I am looking forward to seeing the girls in their saris xx
