Tigri!

The rest of the team arrived on Thursday while I worked back at Kalkaji.  Then I moved out of the flat and into the hotel with my dw.  After their rest we visited Hauz Khas.  This place in the middle of South Delhi is quite impressive:

On Friday morning we visited Tigri again which was very special for us.  They were all very welcoming.  I did a clinic - my last one this trip - while the others went on a slum visit.  They visited peoples' homes and met some of those who had received small bank loans.  It felt very special to meet the ladies and children there again.  They remembered us from 2 years ago and still have the monkey!

Here are some of the girls looking at our previous photos from Tigri:

...and here are some of the Tigri students chatting to JH and JT

JT teaches the children some BSL signs - they enjoyed this one: TIGER!

As we left Tigri Centre we were reminded that it was monsoon season - and that in the 2010 monsoon season, 6 months after we last visited, the centre was completely flooded.  They now have flood defences which help prevent water ingress but this area was dry when we arrived...!!!

Now we are in Shimla having caught the early train from Delhi to Kalka and taken a 3 hour taxi drive from there.  It is so much cooler here - but very misty!  We are here for 4 days before returning to Delhi and Asha.
