Today was our first day on placement in the community centre of a deprived area of Delhi. Even though we didn't do very much, we are all worn out, but still felt we ought to let you know what we're up to, so we've sneaked downstairs while everyone is asleep!
Had to get up very early for the first time in days..well..7.30, but its still too early for us! Took ages to hail a rickshaw, but managed in the end. When we got there, the hospital corridors were crammed with people waiting for treatment. We might get a chance to observe this tomorrow. We sat with the really cute nursery kids and helped in an english class. Then it was time for homework class. The kids were so polite and probably better at English than us.
We all (us and 5 other Gappers) were given an Indian cookery lesson by Sushma, our homestay 'mum'. It was very tasty considering it was our first time making Paranthas (fried chappatis with veg stuffing) and black daal and potato with capsicum.
Off to bed now otherwise we might get locked in the office with the mosquitoes!
