Day One: 21 March 2008

Settled in of sorts.  The family are lovely.  Went with Sam to see the Sharp Memorial Blind School - the first blind school in India, set up by Annie Sharp, a missionary about 100 or so years ago.

Played with the kids.  Pretty incredible kids.  Attempted not to be too shocked by some of the illnesses and deformities.  We played cricket with them.  A surreal and wonderful moment watching blind children having a load of fun beating me at cricket using their incredible sense of hearing!  Some very special kids.

Will be working there on Monday, helping with computer stuff of all things!  Also tomorrow I am to give my testimony and maybe do a game with the young persons group. 

It has been quite a 48 hours!
