Nagpur - Monday afternoon update

Hi All,

It's Monday afternoon here. I've spent the day visiting the four different programs offered here: welding, electrical, ac repair, and computer. The classes remind me of the shop programs that were just before my time in high school. For these kids, it's an amazing education. I sat with the computer teacher, Anil, this afternoon and he showed me a book with notes on the jobs former students have. It was really neat to see that the school works.

I'm headed to the city to meet with a man who has helped the school with local politics. I'm learning a lot about the government bureaucracy here. He's a non-Christian and it's pretty amazing that he's helping so much...a really cool story.

I'll try to write another message later.

It's much cooler here than in Delhi, and the air quality is infinitely better (there was practically a sandstorm when I left - literally). It's still really humid though.

The students are so funny. When I walk into the room, the all stand and say, "Good morning sir." Unfortunately, many don't speak English, so I can't communicate to tell them they don't have to stand everytime they see me.

Talk to you soon. Hope everyone is well.
