Final update from India


Hello Everyone,

We've just spent three amazing weeks in Kolkata working with Life Connections Ministry.  Life Connections focuses on reaching out to street kids who live together at Howrah Train Station.  The kids come into the centre Monday-Thursday and we got the opportunity to feed, teach and play with them. It was so amazing spending time with these increadable boys and sharing God's love with them. During these three weeks we also had the opportunity to work with the Mother Teresa house. The girls worked at the Shanti Dan house with special need girls, helping them colour, play, eat and change. Meanwhile, the boys worked and served the dying at the Nirmal Hriday. Here they fed, shaved and conversed with the men. It was a very challenging and humbling experience that we'll never forget. On our down time, we explored Kolkata's gigantic market and attempted to navigate the packed streets. It's really a beautiful and vibrant city and we feel so blessed to have been given the opportunity to spend some time there. While there, we also got to be apart of the opening of the boys home. Life Connections Ministry had the dream to open this home for quite a while and we're so happy to see the conception actualized. The boys are so happy and excited to be protected and looked after. It was really sad to leave them and the amazing staff. We'll definetly never forget them!\


Now we're fresh off of our first class train from Kolkata. We all had awesome sleeps and are so happy to be here in New Delhi! It's the first day of Debrief and we're enjoying the luxury of having a television! We're pretty excited to go to the Taj mahal and the zoo this week. It's going to be a jam packed week before we fly out to New Zealand in 5 days! 
See you there.
