We
had a very long 18 hour trip yesterday consisting of a 2 1/2 hour flight, 2
short ferry boat rides and a long bus ride to get to Kalipur, near Diglipur on
the Andaman Islands. We traveled through lush rain forests, small towns, a
reservation area for the Jarawa tribe of Indians and coastal areas that had
been hit by the tsunami a few years ago.
Our
distribution today was the first for this area and we delivered 564 bed kits to
the children in Diglipur. The children are very quiet and shy and would laugh
when being entertained with magic and a hand puppet while waiting in line but
were very serious when it was time to take their picture.
