I think last time I spoke to you all I was just going out on the school on wheels. I went with the project in the bus to a slum cluster to visit the children. It was amazing! Totally heartwarming! The kids were really friendly and we drew pictures with them and played with them. They live in makeshift houses and have very little food, water and clothing available to them. They can't wait for the project bus to arrive.

Saturday Me and Tom went on a sightseeing day. A guy from work called Prashant picked us up and took us everywhere. We went to this craft market, then we went to the zoo. The zoo was really nice, it was huge. They had random monkeys that weren't in their cage running around and they were well sweet. I also got to see elephants which made my day. We also managed to pay the zookeeper to let us into a staff enclosure and we got to see the tigers up close.

Immediately she offered me some food and showed me around the house.

The train journey to Cochin was an experience. It was the longest journey of my life and probably one of the most memorable. Sitting on what could only be described as a prison cell bed I realized I was going to be there for 48 hours. When the waiter came round with the food menu.egg curry or curry with no egg, I realized that it was going to be a learning experience. The journey ended up not being as bad as I thought as I managed to catch up on some reading and sample some of the Indian countryside along the way.
