Thanks!

Hari Om,

The last days at the orphanage were filled with dances, classes, and fun.  There were ending ceremonies in which we got to see what the girls had learned during our stay at the orphanage. After an emotional farewell, all the volunteers left Chinmaya Vijaya on the 29th. We made promises to keep in touch with the girls and to return to Chinmaya Vijaya in the future.

In the coming months, the older girls will be preparing and testing to join schools in Vijayawada. For the girls who are continuing their studies at the orphanage, the volunteers and teachers would like to work more on reading comprehension. By keeping in touch with Chinmaya Vijaya, the volunteers hope to contribute more supplies, solutions, and gifts to the girls.

We would like to thank all the people who made this trip possible and all the volunteers!
