( 8:44 AM ) shut up christine
6 bananas: 10 rupees = $0.25 US
dinner at the restaurant behind our house: 15 rupees = $0.38
rent and utilities for the month: 450 rupees = $11.25
every week we have something called "Saturday Special" where kids from the slum can play and just be kids
i was playing dodgeball with a group of little girls and Sunil (26 year old guy who works at Manav Sadhna) except whenever he got the ball he'd chuck it at their heads and they'd fall down and i could not stop laughing
and that is why i'm going to hell.
in other news,
i'm editing a book on how to build 43289083 different kinds of toilets.
the irony
also i teach an art class 3 times a week, last week i had the kids cut out paper hearts to decorate and give to someone they love
we asked a 10 year old boy named Vijay who he was going to give his heart to and he said himself, and the girl next to him said "of course, who else would he give it to" but after class he gave me his heart and i laminated it
and yeah i just wanted to rub that in your face
last but not least, i have no idea what i'm going to do when i get back but it doesn't matter,
everyday i have a clearer vision of the kind of person i'd like to be, the things that are important to me, and how i want to spend my time
i've made a bunch of little promises to myself, one of those is that i've decided i will definitely go back to school
heffrey, in response to your email, i love it
