Hi. Hi hi hi. Sorry for the lack of posts. Service learning takes a whole lot of time, but it is pretty great. I spent the first two times drawing with crayons on the office wall (with new friend Apurna), and the third painting. Each time we work for a while then have tea with Amlan, Piyali, and other staff members while engaging in philosophical and motivational discourse about NGOs, personal growth, rural and urban development, and changing the world in general. It's great.
On a different note, Brenna bought these caucasian-flesh colored leggings really cheap from the market. They would probably look okay on someone with dark skin, but when Brenna wears them, it looks like she's wearing no pants. Kakima walked in, viewed Brenna's fleshy legs, patted (caressed more accurately) her knee and declared them "sexy". It was hilarious. She then told us a bunch of cultural/time differences about the taboo of showing one's legs or talking about sex at all in India when she was growing up. We all felt terribly uncomfortable but I'm glad it happened.
