Helen in India 5

Well the workshop is finished! What a relief not to have to sit up half the night preparing for tomorrow! We're so thankful that it all went very well. The government district advisor for hearing impaired children actually did attend and said he found it very helpful, which was a relief (we invited him to help us too!). I felt so proud of the boys we trained last time when they stood up giving presentations themselves. (It was either that or translating what I said into Hindi, so that was an incentive!). Fortunatley Silas is recovering from the complications that set in with his chicken pox; we were extremely worried earlier in the week. Even though the doctors here are so incredibly overworked they still made time to look after him well. So tomorow is the last day out on 'those' motor bikes for me- but I will miss seeing the children. Good to have some time to finsih things off and have some easier time before I leave on Sunday for Kathmandu. Thanks so much for praying and emailing, it has made all the difference. People here work so hard and do a great job for some of the neediest people. See you soon!
