Day 4 - Thursday 21st January

Following yesterday's schedule, we were starting to get used to the routine we'd be keeping for the rest of the week. 6:30am Mass, followed by 7:30am breakfast, and at 8am we were off.

The Deepalaya School group continued with their classes, some at the small Ohkla school, the others at the larger school 10 minutes away (this school building won an architectural award for clever use of space in a limited area). The girls at Education on Wheels continued as well, surprised to learn that their kids remembered the songs from the day before. The other group returned to Cheshire, finding the residents very efficient in their craft work and generally connecting with them.

Painting continued at the two Kamalini centres in the afternoon, and saw the completion of the kitchen area and significant progress in the two downstairs rooms (despite issues with dampness).

Despite our salivating palates anticipating the curry hit for dinner, we were met instead with an assortment of pastas and beer to celebrate Marian's birthday. The girls from the Opus Dei Centre came around, and joined us for various party games and an Indian Princess makeover for the birthday girl. With Chocolate birthday cake to compliment the beer, we were somewhat rowdier than usual that night and slept like babies once again.
