Spirits Lifted

Between the consistently lousy weather and the depressing chill songs on my iPod, I found myself in one moopy mood this afternoon.  But around 5 o'clock, that changed; the children from Sherpa Tar* came over for dinner and a movie.  It's amazing how 18 of the sweetest faces from one remote village in India can instantly lift your spirits.  I've not had the chance to work with the kids yet, but I already love 'em!



*Sherpa Tar is a smaller village about an hour and a half away.  It is there that Sam and Karin, along with the help of a few others, first took in a few abandoned children, starting an orphanage there.  Since, they have started a school within the orphanage, and are working to build a more stable envirnment for both.  So when I refer to the kids of Sherpa Tar, I am mostly speaking of the kids from the orphanage.  Seldomly, and in this case, I am also referring to a few of the other local children there as well.
