Experiences in India
- cows in the middle of the street
- constructing a building with a wooden platform
- shoveling rocks into a heap
- peeing on the streets (men)
- meat hanging in the open air and sun
- slums
- dirty children
- people walking around in their bare feet
- goats, chickens and cows eating garbage
- rivers polluted with garbage and feces
- billboards with western women in contrast with women in burkas and sarees
- eating with our right hand
- using the squatty potty without toilet paper. We just rinse with water
- holy cows crossing lanes of traffic
- kids swimming in the Krishna River
- beggars that are incredibly thin
- bowed and shrunken legs
- elephantiasis
- people driving jaguars
- people sleeping on the streets
- warm, genuine, kind smiles and laughter
- naked children
- smells of dung, pee and rotting vegetables
Continue to pray for the country of India. Pray for the poverty, hunger and thirst of these people.
