We drove a couple of hours south for another wonderful day among children at a mission hostel
and school deep in a tribal village of southern Tripura. We were welcomed with a song, and then each of us was asked to give a message to the school children. That went over pretty well, although I am not sure how much they understood us. We tried anyway. Then we visited the sisters who were watching over the younger kids. The pictures are of the 3-4 year old bosy who were absolutely great . I also took a picture of the kitchen, an old wood stove
with two big pots. One pot was full of cooking rice, and the other full of a delicious smelling masala -- lunch was just about ready. Out back was a big pond where the fish are "grown" and the kids catch them as needed for food. Overall, the sisters were a joy, the children
so cute I wanted to take them all home, and life was kind of tough but full of love and community.
