Lunch with Rajeev & Back to New Delhi - September 26
We were able to relax at the hotel and play with Girija before heading over to have lunch with Rajeev and his wife. Girija is adjusting well. She loves having a lap full of toys and has enjoyed all of the affection she is getting.
We stopped for a few quick shots by the doorman.
And a shot of Christi & her mom in their Saris.
Papu picked us up at 11:30 and took us to Rajeev's place.
Here is a shot of Grija not wanting to go for another car ride.
Rajeev has a beautiful home. We visited, ate a delicious home cooked meal & rested for an hour before having to get on the road for the 4.5 hour drive to New Delhi.
Lunch is served.
Rejeev and his beautiful wife.
Rajeev is an amazing man. He adopted one of his daughter's from Nepal. She is now 28 and helps run an orphanage they opened in Nepal three years ago. His goal was to create an orphanage that felt like a home. Most orphanages he workes with have caregivers that treat it like a job. Many do the minimum required to fill that job. He showed us video of the building he just finished renovating for the kids. All of the kids have their own bed, there are tons of bedrooms so they don't all have to sleep together. They have a large kitchen with a permanent house mom & house dad looking over everything. The outside has a walled in garden so the kids can play outside in safety. They have a warm staff that puts the welfare of the kids first. They teach the kids & get them out of the orphanage so they can experience life. If you are looking for a good place to donate this orphanage would be the ideal place: http://www.shristinepal.org
We arrived back at the hotel around 6:30, had dinner & played with Girija in the room. She smiles constantly and loving all of the attention.
Tomorrow it's back to the Embassy to see if we can get all of the paperwork worked out.
