Indian school kids enjoy my new CD (player).

You may remember me telling you about my wonderful trip to Kerala in south India last year where I enjoyed the hospitality of Jos and his family at the Gramam Homestay in Cochin (I still miss the food!). I had the opportunity to visit a couple of schools there to see kids of all ages receive an education. It was a terrific experience and of course I made a small donation to a chamring principle who raised her hands with joy and said she’d been praying some money so she could buy a CD player and teach the children music and dancing.

It’s humbling and rewarding to see what a difference such a small amount can make and realise how much we take for granted. They’ve just sent me these photos. Seeing their faces radiating joy like that I can only assume they are all enjoying “Gary Williams Meets Frank Sinatra”.

Too cute!

It’s also good to see that they bothered to send you photo’s so you could see the results. fantastic.
