Academics and art

Today we got to see specifically what the kids learn and work on in
school. All I can say is that the 3-year olds do cursive! Not to
mention learning the 26 letters in our alphabet, and the 80 letters of
the Indian dialect they speak here, Tamil. One of the teachers painted
my wrist and hand with Henna too! Very cool! We walked home from the
school to the orphanage and got to see a lot of native culture
including a woman making rope out of the husk inside of coconuts. And
beautiful art work hand-designed in preparation for an upcoming
harvest celebration. This evening the children put on a dance
performance! It was really entertaining! In all things, you can see
the pride that is part of anything they work on, from food, to school
work to the arts. Off to sleep after another full day! Xoxo
