We woke up early to the numerous sounds of Udayan. The day began with breakfast and playing with the children.rnrn

rnrnAfter a short while spent chatting and joining in with games, we got on a mini bus to begin the march for the “Leprosy Awareness Programme”. The entire school took part, along with staff, parents of the children and past students. The rally lasted around 2 hours and we battled with cows on the side streets, and cars on the main road! It was all an experience we won’t forget.rnrn

rnrnrnOnce we reached the end of the march, we began our journey back into the city. We then visited the “Asha Niketan” centre run by Sankar Rakhi for the mentally handicapped. The group of people we met were lovely and friendly; they enjoyed meeting us and we enjoyed meeting them! rnrnAfterwards we visited the house where Gandhi went on his last fast in an attempt to stop the rioting that was taking place between the Muslims and the Hindus at the time of Independence. rnrn

rnrnWe have ended our evening with a VERY spicy meal. rnrn
