Monday

This day we went to Purnata Bhavan where we saw a project run by Oasis Trust that provides a refuge for those children who have HIV Aids or are affected by HIV. Adam says that 13 of the 35 children are HIV + and around 25 are orphaned and live on site.

The project also runs training schemes to enable the women to do jobs such as tailoring or candle making. Those of you with connections with team members may be fortunate enough to receive gifts purchased from the centre!

We were able to pray for the team who are led by a lady called Bethany from USA with assistance being made by Helen(who teaches 5 children) and now Kris (who will be advising of new designs for clothing)

In the picture on the left Karen is in the red top and Kris is next to her in the light blue top. Bethany is in the gold top and on the right hand side of the picture.

Sharmaine is pictured below with a number of the children at the project

The journey back will go down as the most eventful we have ever experienced as due to a (probable fatal) accident on the mountain road resulted in driving practices you will never the like of again as cars overtook each other on the inside and outside in order to get past the accident. This is inspite of oncoming traffic and a sheer drop (protected by a 4ft brick wall on the left side!)

Apologies for also missing a photo opportunity as a wee boy lifted electric cables above the height of a lorry using a long wooden fork!
