Another amazing day- started off at 7am with a climb up the water tower- michelle only ! to see the sunrise- more of that on FB
we then left at 9am to visit a maher home which provides safety & support for the destitute & lonely- the one we went to was a refge for women and children escaping domestic abuse - they are given guidance to get themselves and their children back on track and
advice on forming co-operatives to earn and save money my making items such as cards and bags to sell- It was a priviledge to have been invited to see what work they do- it was founded by Sister Lucy Kurien a catholic nun working in the area - but help and support is available to all with no boundaries of caste, or faith its mantra is the following
" Is God so smalll to be posssessed by one religion?"If you want to find out any more please look at www.maherashram.org
The children where so pleased to see us and just wanted to have their photos taken all of the time- as I said it was a priviledge to there even if for a short time.
This afternoon Michelle and I took ourselves off for an hour to the botanical gardens - before you all get too excited- it was the local park with a few flower beds- but we found a lovely tuk- tuk driver who took and waited for us which was really helpful.
A quite night at sangam tonight- the trefoil guild ladies are leaving tomorrow and half of them have gone out for dinner- we decided to stay in and had chicken tacos for tea which were lovely.
looking forward to our last day just hope the mossies are not so bad seem to have been eaten alive despite bands and repelllent.
