Republic Day




India’s Republic Day is when they celebrate the Constitution of India going into effect in 1950.  It’s a big deal, kind of like the 4th of July in the US.  We, along with several others from Hyderabad, traveled down to the mill in Rajahmundry to attend a Family Day celebration at the school.  There were hundreds of people there.  Mike gave a speech and I got to referee the women’s Tug O’ War.  That was interesting!  The people there are lovely and it’s always so fun to be with the kids at the school.

The school children put on quite a show.



Our adorable little helper!
