Maggots and Lepers and wounds, oh my

Wow, there is so much to update about because our time has gone quickly and internet access has been difficult to come by.
   Yesterday was really great. We had a party for some lepers about 9 days ago and realized how little care they are receiving. How heartbreaking to see people so mangled and broken by a disease that is completely curable because they don't have money to buy the medications that they need. Anyway... yesterday we went to the leper colony to give a little TLC. We washed hands and feet, dressed wounds and provided lunch. These poor people haven't had human touch in so long and some were crying. Katie was a rockstar and took maggots out of a 34 year old mans feet.
  We came back to Bangalore today to send Robin and the rest of  the team off early in the morning, Leaving the family that we've spent the last 10 days with was heartbreaking, but Robin is missing Michael so much and Katie and I are looking forward to an adventure. We all fly out tomorrow, Robin is heading back to Phoenix and Katie and I will head to Kochi, Kerala at the southern most tip of India. Enough talking, here are some pics. sorry that they are out of chronological order...

Katie getting ready to lead a game of duck duck goose. We called her Kate a lot here because the word Kadie means robber and we didn't want to scare the children,

eeeww. maggots!

Yes, we finally allowed the women of the house to dress us up in Saris. This was minutes after we challenged the children to a game of soccer.

Katie, Charity and some of the most wonderful people in the world- Gracie, Daniel and Samuel (we spent 10 days hanging out with this family)

Robin and Papa sharing a really cute moment. I think she was walking a bit funny because she was sympathizing with the Lepers
