I didn't have to go to work today. Instead I went on an activity with some of my coworkers. Every year we get one day to participate in an organized service project. I thought it would be more interesting to do it here than in Salt Lake. There were about 15 of us on this project. We met at the office this morning and then got on buses to go to Rakum School. It is a school for blind children. The owner gave us the lowdown on the school when we got there and it was pretty incredible. All of the children are orphans, but not all of them are blind. In fact less than half are blind. About 45 boys live in the school and more than 100 girls live in a building behind the school. Each blind child is assigned a seeing child from the very beginning and they are responsible for each other. That was the most amazing part of the whole day...watching how the seeing children took care of the blind children. We picked up about 35 children and 2 teachers and took the buses to Sandhya Kiran which is senior citizen center. Elders co
