june 1 is the date.that my sister Melissa and I are going to India.
I'll be back in late August. she'll be back in July for medical school.
we're going to be teaching at Shanti Bhavan, a school just near Bangalore. the school, a project of the George Foundation, focuses on children from the lowest caste in the Hindu caste system, known as "untouchables" who are supposedly unclean to touch. Shanti Bhavan takes these children, who wouldn't receive an education otherwise, and puts them through school, k-12.
june 1 couldn't be any farther away; I want to leave tomorrow.
