Saturday, August 11, 2007 ( 2:54 PM ) shut up christine i spent the last few days doubting, and questioning, and remembering. decided i will delay my flight home for a few days. yesterday we went back to the place that made me so angry and we passed out plastic tarps to keep the rain out of their tents, then took surveys of the area so that we can start a new nutrition program and street school here which Anilbhai and i will begin teaching on monday. and that, is pretty awesome. Anchal said we can't change the Tekra; we can't end prostitution, we can't end alcoholism, we can't always keep husbands from beating their wives...Jayeshbhai has been doing this for 17 years and change won't happen overnight, it might not happen ever. earlier i was so upset because all this shit was going down and i felt helpless because all i had was potatoes. effing potatoes. the point is, whatever we are capable of doing, no matter how small it is, do it with your whole heart so i will pour my freakin heart into every freakin potato yo. tomorrow i was supposed to go to the india-pakistan border with Friends Without Borders for an amazing, inspiring display of friendship between two countries that hate each other. we had to cancel our train tickets because of terrorist threats/ security issues at the event. please keep your fingers crossed now i'm preparing for my pilgrimage to deliver the precious package to calcutta, then a small side trip to the himalayas before i come home and, there's a boy. he deserves his own post so i will write about him later peace #
