I'm not sure what's left in terms of how to lose weight...but the sign cracks me up. maybe i should call and find out...


A remnant of our first "Men's Day" at Sari Bari...we all wore paper moustaches...and celebrated the amazing men among us

Sometimes i forget how amazing it is that i can do this...write lesson plans in another language?!?! (sure my spelling is horrible...but it get's the job done)

Freedom Birthday...and the 2 year celebration at our Prevention Unit....how many pictures do we have of hands cutting a cake that says "Freedom"...i have no idea...and who can possibly guess how many more we'll take in the years to come?!?!? my joy is that i know the women...the faces, the personalities, the smiles attached to those hands


Built one day during training. i love to see what the women come up with


I wish you could read the sign...it's an ad for our local "Sexologist"...cracks me up...


A random day where purple was apparently the color to wear...i know what top i'll wear next time i'm lucky enough to go to a "Kolkata Knightriders" Cricket match!

Oh the joy...the absolute joy in this picture. She's signing for her salary...I didn't think she was going to be able to learn how to write her name. i'd almost given up...She has struggled...and persisted...we've tried different approaches...and slowly slowly we've figured it out (she's received salary before...but this is the first time she's been able to sign her own name)...

...in the midst of creating a new salary system...craziness of excel...and formulas...searching for what's off...and why it isn't working the way it's supposed to..finding my mistakes...counting (and recounting and recounting) rupees...trying to figure out where my math was wrong...and why things just wouldn't add up...this moment takes the week!

I like the weight loss poster, love that she learned to write her own name, and delighted with you for all the little things that bring joy!
