Everything is Smaller in India

Chris —  June 25, 2009

(a little joke for my Texas friends)

We arrived in Tuesday, spent the night on our air mattresses in the Bombay airport, and flew to Delhi.  We’re spending the week with the Emmanuel Orphanage.  Emmanuel is part of Hopegivers International, which was started by one man here in India, and has raised hundreds of Orphans across the subcontinent.

So far, it seems like our main job has been surviving the 110+ degree heat.  In the mean time, we’ve had lots of opportunities to sing and play with the kids.  It’s a scorcher, but it’s going to be a great week.

What Are You Doing This Summer?

Chris —  March 13, 2009

For those of you who still don’t have summer plans, you might consider a trip around the world with my friend Sarah over at www.globaljourney.org.  Here’s what she has planned:

  • Hang out with Slum Dogs in India
  • Help out at an AIDS orphanage in Uganda
  • Get to know the Muslim population of Paris
  • Run a sports camp for Nicaraguan children

The trip takes place over 60 days this summer.  It’s a great opportunity if you are interested in mission work, but not sure you know where you want to go.  It’s also great for students or teachers trying to make the most out of their summer.  For more information, contact Sarah Rinn at sarah@globaljourney.org.
