Happy New Year from India!

Hello from Shoshanna:
We arrived safely a few days ago and are now settled into St. Patrick's home, the Dalit school where we are staying. We don't have regular access to the Internet, so I just wanted to write a quick hello and tell you that we are all doing very well.
The last 2 days we have been working on a preventive health survey in a rural village nearby. We were welcomed with garlands, bindis, music and dance. Very colorful! The nursing students we are working with are very nice and patient with us, since it is quite challenging to do a survey when we don't speak Tamil. Tonight we are going to another village to celebrate the New Year and the students are up on the roof practising their dance number.
That's all for now. I'll see if we can write more soon.
