Great pics Rob, I don`t envy Santa one bit, but I bet the childrens faces made it all worthwhile for him, looking forward to meeting you and the children in March, I will be in touch before we arrive :)

Santa really enjoyed it, already booked for next year I think... I've also put up a set of pictures on 'The Mango House' to show everyone that we aren't just sunning ourselves over here we are actually working... There are some before and after pictures... Some are quite impressive.... Have a look....

Hi all... SOrry it's taken so long to get another set of pictures up but it's a big set this time, Shermina took a trip up to Mumbai in January and documented the whole trip from Goa, on the overnight bus to Mumbai, spent the day in Mumbai with 5 volunteers giving out 605 sets of clothes and books/toys to the children living at the side of the road.. Hopefully you'll like the photos, here's my favourite....

Really glad everyone likes the photos... It really does put things into perspective, I think it would make children realise if they were brought over here to see how easy they really have things....

More pictures... There hasn't been too much talk of Holi recently on here, but it's been that day today! Holi is a Hindu festival of colour, I'm not exactly sure about the whole idea behind it, but it's lots of fun. we spent over two hours covering all the children in colour and playing games and obviously them covering us too.... Afterwards they all came to 'The Mango House' to play (after they had cleaned up a little).

Newsletter is half out... :? For some reason I can only send 250 emails a day... We seem to have a few more than that on our list now... :)

If anyone wants it then send an email with a subject 'Join Newsletter'....

The easiest way to see it before is to read it online... (As that was updated last night...)

Thanks for the photos Rob :D A joy to look at. the children look to be really enjoying themselves. How is the little girl doing, I think her name is Sangeeta? Its such a shame for some of these children, who not only live in poverty but have an abusive father as well. My heart goes out to her.
