Here's Dolly in her Harem girl outfit. She was required to make it in white. Doesn't she just look fabulous? I had a lot of fun helping her. Tomorrow I am meeting with another girl to help her get her missionary wardrobe together. I knew there was a reason for me to buy a sewing machine first thing when I got here to India. This is the second girl I've helped with missionary clothing. I will be helping Dolly get hers together also. She's getting her papers filled out.

Some sights we see are funny like the man standing urinating on the tree but he's also asleep. That one is funny. Other sights are just pitiful and then others are so gruesome and unbelievable. We weren't sure if the man laying on the sidewalk was dead or not. This sight is so common but nobody even checks to find out. Blow the picture of the man with the twisted leg up. It is just amazing what some people suffer in this life.

Look how tidy this man is. His shoes are so neatly placed, his mat so colorful, and his clothes so white and cool looking. He doesn't even want to put his feet on the mat so as to keep it nice and clean. It's as though he knew that he was going to need a nap while he was out and about so he came prepared to just stretch out and take a rest on the sidewalk.

Fred was over at the market across the street from our apartment when he saw a monkey. Then a cat wandered across the monkey's space so the monkey started chasing the cat. A nearby dog saw the action so he started chasing the monkey. Everybody in the market was having a good time watching the excitement. By the time Fred got the camera out the cat had escaped, the dog was on the ground standing in some sewer water, and the monkey had found safety up a tree but he had stolen a banana first.

Our dear little friend Dolly has been going to fashion design school for underprivileged young adults. It's a school sponsored by a German Trust Organization. Dolly was assigned to make a formal with a Rajastani theme to it and a Harem Girl outfit. She couldn't afford the fabric and had put off making the outfits but finally came to me and told me her problem.
Fred and I loaded her into an auto rickshaw and off we went to a wonderful fabric store where we found this beautiful cloth. Dolly designed her dress and is still in the process of getting the belt all sequined, mirrored and embroidered before the deadline next Sunday. She's got her Harem Girl outfit done also and I'll be putting that picture on next. Isn't she a doll?
