There is a house being built right next door to our house here in Hyderabad. Here it is common for the people who are building a home to live in the unfinished house until it is finished so we have several families who live right by us. The kids of those families have been such a joy to all of us since we arrived. They do not speak English, do not go to school and only eat one meal a day but they are always smiling and so full of life! There are three boys Shivaji (11) Rajesh (9) and Nani (5) and two girls Ranuka (8) and Vasenta (6).
Stephen's mom sent us a package with several little boys shirts, tons of socks, underwear and a pair of shoes. I wish all of you could have been here to see their excitement. We had them come onto our porch and just started seeing what fit who. These were the first pair of socks that each of them have ever had. It reminded me of Christmas morning as their faces lit up. They tried on every single item at one time!
After distributing the clothes we had them pose for several pictures. Right after the picture is taken they all run to me to look at it. We are the first people who have ever taken their pictures. We love being a part of their lives.
