Trying to Give Back

The past three days, I have been working to bring together an act of charity. There is an orphanage near the hotel called Welfare Home for Children in New Delhi. It houses about fifty children and is off the beaten track. The concierge, Ravinda, knows of it from doing charitable work with them. I told him I wanted to see "real" India - not just Disney India, and he suggested I visit the orphanage. I suggested that they could use a donation, and he came back with the idea of bringing food and clothing instead of money.

Hence, Sunday, Ted Rivera, Lokesh Kasana, and I went on a trip to shop for the orphanage. We picked up probably 70 pounds of rice and lentils, as well as a large bag of clothes.

Battery is dying .. here is a quick picture of shopping for goods - me and Lokesh, our driver (out of uniform at my insistence). More later.
