The village heard there was a visitor so they are flocking to the house to see me - since most of them do not speak English and I do not speak or understand Malayalam which is spoken by 38 million people we just gawk at each other. After we stare at each other for a while I ask to take their photos. The woman above spoke some English so she told me that she is a kindergarten teacher - 30 in her class by herself!
Her daughter is eleven and spoke very little English.
This fifteen year old was so shy and I could tell he did not want to be here! He was dragged over and looked very relieved when I said good-bye!
