Michael's FB post 9/22/16 - Tough week

Update posted by Tomi Selway

This has been a tuff week. It's been hard for me to find my groove, but I have finally found it. I discovered that some of the older students and teachers want to learn Office applications so I teach the older students Office in the orphanage in the morning, then go to the slums and help teach the younger kids math until school is out, then spend an hour with the teachers on Office after school.

I am also trying to work with them to put together a blog or website. They want to get the word out about what they do for the kids and the sick, and try to raise money by selling the goods that they make. It's hard to get anything done with the language barrier and sloooow internet. I feel like I am running under water.

Tomorrow Tomi and Amish (another volunteer) and I are taking the weekend and going to Agra to see the Taj Mahal and to Jaipur. Should be very exciting. It will be nice to eat something besides orphanage food. I already need to buy a new belt.
