Want a simple summary or only pics of the India trip?

If you just want to see the pictures with quick captions, you can check out my photos as http://picasaweb.google.com/calimarina/outreachtochennaiindia

If you'd like a basic run down of our day-by-day activities while in India, please check out the blog that Streams of Mercy kept up each day. Patty did a great job of keeping this updated with basic info, as well as pictures of the team's activities and great stories about why the work being done is so important. You can view the blog by going directly to http://streamsofmercyblog.blogspot.com/ . If, however, you're up for a more indepth and (be warned!) more personal view into my trip and experiences, please read on. I hope what I share blesses you in some way. Even the process of sharing and writing it has been a gift to me.

Lastly, please know that I'll be updating this blog with added posts in the weeks to come. Please sign up to follow the blog, or sign up for RSS feeds (or email me, and I can let you know when there are additions!). THANKS!

Little Lights in the Darkness


Faces like these made it impossible to despair while visiting the various children's homes. Are they not the cutest possible? They LOVED having their picture taken...the challenge was convincing them that they didn't need to be 1 inch away from the camera, and that they could back up! Ha! These three girls, at the home for the children of lepers (taken out of leper colonies where they're sure to contract the disease), were obviously "best friends" and moved mostly as a little trio. They stole my heart, especially the one in purple, Banu.
