Speech to raise awareness of Reach India's work to 'Green Ray International'. Very receptive and thankful for our time, we definitely were big on pushing 'help for sponsorship'!

 Getting ready ready to make our debut! And looking extremely ginge....

 Another photo from Durga Puja in Kolkata. Everyone was dressed in their best saris!

 With the Brahman of one of the Hindu temples of Kolkata. Received a blessing for health and well being for myself and family and friends so hope you're all okay!

 Khairul leading the first learning game for girls(LGG); 'getting to know each other'. We delivered this to 92 girls aged 10-15! It was absolutely amazing. We started off by playing a fun game that I play with my Guides    (corners) and they found this hilarious. This definitely broke the ice and built confidence in the girls to listen and talk with us.

 Explaining to the 'stone' group what being a 'stone' meant.

 STONE TEAMM!!!

 Wednesday of last week - delivering an assembly to the hostel next to our accommodation. We asked them lots of different questions about Geography to do with India and England. Then asked them to sing the National Anthem, which they took very seriously. We then sang them the English National anthem, very out of tune! We finished with telling them all about the Queen and the Royal family (to link in with the national anthem). Oh and then played a true and false game to see how much they learnt - they remembered a lot! (Sonu and Khairul translated to Hindi - GOOD TEAM!)

 Teaching the next LGG - led by me! Hello teaching career...uh ohhhh!

 'Fire in the Mountain' - running around and then getting into groups of different numbers.

 Being taught an Indian game, which took a while to understand!

 First night in Bodh Gaya! Roof terrace. Full team back together.

 Outside one of the Buddhist temples in Bodh Gaya. So much detail on the walls.

 80ft Buddha statue! Which is hollow! (and has an air vent in his back?!?!?)

 Mahabodi temple! One of the biggest pilgrimage sites for Buddhists. Amazing noises - prayers, birds, general milling around.

 Diwali sparklers on the roof!!!

 Returning back from work today - motorbike transport! We formed one SHG in a village an hour from Patna, who we will also be delivering the LGG to as of next week. The girls were quite shy but had some level of education.

Different way of life! A whole community living in straw houses under a hugeeeee bridge!
