Thursday night, was quite the night. Two of the staff from House of Hope, Agnes & Pinky both live in one of the local slums. Agnes has been inviting Anneloes and I to come visit their slum for the past couple of weeks and we finally got the chance on Thursday. I didn't know what to expect, it was my first time going to a slum. They are everywhere, I see slums everyday, but never actually walked through one. We love Agnes and Pinky and knew this would be such a good experience. So off we went! We had lots and lots of chai, and felt so welcomed by everyone. We only got to see part of their slum so we are going back sometime soon to see the rest and to see more of where the kids from Bright Star live... but here are some photos from the parts we did see.
Kavita and Simon. Kavita used to work at House of Hope during the nights. Simon attends Bright Star Education!

Agnes & I at her front door, it was beautiful. They had lots of plants, they even had a bird cage with birds chirping away.

Pinky & Agnes serving chai and our favorite snack...which I cannot spell, but its like a pastry with coconut and sugar, some nuts.. really no idea how to explain it either.
