Time is coming to a close!

Well we have only five days left in Ooty! Early Saturday morning we take a three hour taxi to Coimbatore and then a last thirty hour train ride to Mumbai. We have a few hours there, so I was hoping to stock up on some beads before catching our flight home to England.
In these last few weeks, Dave has been doing different projects for Freedom Firm, such as building a fence around the horse pasture, working on the school room and doing a few DIY jobs in the girls home.
Ive been doing some of the above and also teaching the girls crafts for a few hours every afternoon.
Dave and Fio and I took the girls swimming the other day. They had so much fun..none of them can swim, so they would jump in and then we would have to go and 'rescue' them!
We also did a three day camp with around twenty five girls from all the different homes around India. It was a lot of fun, we played lots of games, did crafts and had lots of singing around the fire. They had some pretty intense stories, so it was emotional too. Dave got giradia (unfortunately for me, because he smelt like sulphur and rotten eggs!), but hes better now!

Anyways our time here has gone pretty fast. We have made really good friends with the other volunteers, so are going to go out for dinner with them on Wednesday. We've had a great time here but are looking forward to the newxt few weeks of cream teas in London, Swarmas and hookahs in Turkey and then sailing and the Lakes, before finally going back to Cinncinati!
