Since Monday, we are in Hassan and were taken here from all very friendly. Our apartment in which we will live temporarily until the new children's home built is finished, required plenty of tolerance. But after a shopping expedition and a cleaning party, we have made friends with her. In addition, we are not alone-Siggi our house cockroach feels safe in her bucket well, even geckos and giant grasshoppers look now and then over.
On Monday we were the first time in the orphanage and have our Indian children very close to the heart, now unfortunately only have two weeks holiday and we are learning instead busy on Kannada.
Yesterday we visited a village and were at a meeting of the Health Volunteers there. These are women from the villages who are learning a few basic things about health, nutrition etc. and distribute them into their village. In principle, it was interesting to see how this works, but unfortunately it was all in Kannada and we have not understood a word, except the things that we have translated our director. So we were glad we were allowed to leave the meeting early.
All in all, it falls to us a bit difficult to acclimatize ourselves here, but our mentor and our Dirktor are super nice and helpful and do their systems allow us to make it as easy as possible.
We hope that we can upload photos as soon as possible.
