(5b) Moving on from Udayan Care
(continued from 5a)
Things have been very busy at Udayan Care. In addition to the usual things like soccer and academic help, I've put on a few fun activities. Last weekend, we watched Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory after finishing reading the book in English. I handed out mini chocolate bars to everyone as well because watching that movie without any chocolate is pure torture. On Saturday, we celebrated Halloween. After all the girls had dressed up (most of them were fairies and princesses), we had a face painting session. Then we turned off all the lights and the girls came trick or treating at my door. After getting to celebrate so many Indian festivals, it was fun to teach the girls about an American tradition.
I have been cooking a bunch lately. I help in the kitchen nearly every day. I'm hoping that I'll be able to recreate a simple North Indian meal when I get home. Last week I learned how to make momos which are little steamed Tibetan dumplings. Anna and I made french toast and fruit salad for everyone for breakfast. The 'egg sugar bread' as the girls keep calling it was a huge success. Yesterday we cooked pasta and garlic toast for dinner. Making garlic bread without an oven, toaster, garlic press, or brush was an accomplishment. The girls really like trying food from other countries.
Today is my last official day at the orphanage. Tomorrow, I embark on two and a half weeks of travel around Northern India with three of the German volunteers. We will spend a week touring Rajasthan by car. Then we will head to Varanasi and Darjeeling by train.
I am definitely looking forward to this next part of my adventure but I don’t want to leave Udayan Care. I am really going to miss all of the girls. I am so used to living here and the daily routine. I have already decided to come back to Greater Noida for at least a couple days after traveling because there’s no way I can say goodbye to the girls for good. I am thankful that I have been able to become a part of this big family.
I miss you all and I hope you are well, Emmiliese
