Manvi, Thursday am.
Apologies for the gap in the blog but I have been in Pannur with my small group and there was no internet connection. pannur was hard work but fun. sadly I had to make the decision to bring the group back a day early because there was no water in the village; this ,eant the work came to a halt on the houses and the kindergarten and there was no real work for us to do, so we have now rejoined the rest. We were very sad to leave the children there as they are so enagging. One thing that amused us greately was when they return from school each day they go to wash their clothes and take a bath - this involves going to the river and at present digging a bore hole to find water underground to find a spring as the river is dry. The teacher then flings buckets of water at the children; presumambly the ones who got a bucket of water in the face first had annoyed her how different this is from life at Wimbledon College.because there are no hotel spaces at the weekend in Hampi our trip there is now delayed until Monday. many thanks to those who have sent messages via the blog
