Dad has asked for another blog post. This is a mini tour of the house, I'll load photos slowly as the internet is slow so check back to see more...
First, is our kitchen/eating area, filled with people for lunch. As its sunny we sit outside too. The food is absolutely delicious. Authentic, and different every day!
Next is our notice board. We get our schedule for the day and people pin up activities that we can join in too.
The view is beautiful, wherever you look on the horizon there are mountains and beauty. It's really relaxing just sitting outside and absorbing the atmosphere.
The girls are encouraged to wear local clothes (salwar Kameez) made up of kurta (tunic), Salwar (baggy trousers) and dupatta (scarf). They are really comfortable and cool which is nice. They are designed to protect the girls modesty, with the dupatta to cover the girls chest. I haven't quite got the grasp of the dupatta, it keeps falling off and flying away!
One of the field workers (Anju) that helps me on my placement is an expert in henna so she did my hand for me. Apparently the darker it is, the more your in-laws like you and mine is really dark! Married women can have it on their feet but I don't want anyone touching my toes!!
