Update

So I know it's been a while since I've written- life here has been quite busy. Things were pretty crazy last week for the puja- I went out a few nights with some friends, we met some Indian boys, got to see the chaos at the river on Thursday night. When the Indians party, they really know how to make a racket! Then one of the volunteers left on Tuesday, so this weekend we went out for a night of dinner and dancing on Park St for her going away party. Yesterday we went to another puja at the home of one of the ladies who is helping out here at the center. We have about another 2 weeks before Diwali (yet another Hindu festival) starts on Oct 28th.
As far as work goes, one of my projects was putting together a promo video for the company. It made it through several revisions, but it's now posted on youtube if anyone wants to check it out. The link is: http://in.youtube.com/watch?v=ycYWYTLuX-0 I didn't do the still photos or the titles, but the majority of the film was shot and edited by me. This week we have a British designer here to help the girls learn to make some new bags. I've been helping her cut out patterns and copy them. Sarah, one of the CEO's of the company, is also here for a few days, so everyone is in and out of the office. I've sort of taken over supervising the girls (as well as I can, seeing that they don't understand me when I try to explain what they're to do) and signing them in and out. It makes for a pretty long day. I have also gotten in contact with a German woman from church named Pia- she has a ministry in the red-light district here and I think I will be able to help her a few days a week starting in November. I still need to meet with her to hash out the details, but I'm pretty excited about that opportunity.
I'm still enjoying every minute here and learning more about Indian culture every day... more on that soon!
