I've mentioned my friend Vijaya, or Viju, before. I stop at her shop and visit most days. Vijaya has such a big heart. She cares for several girls in the village whose parents are unable to give them the attention she can. Mostly, she encourages them to go to school and emphasizes the importance of schooling. These girls have set up camp in my heart, as well.
This past Saturday was another day for playing with color, like on Holi. We planned a Chinese food lunch party. The girls greeted me with color for my face.
I did not partake in the Chinese food, since it falls in the street food category. My doctor said no street food! But I hung out and enjoyed a thumbs up cola.
After eating, we danced.
And danced.
And danced some more.
Then we moved the dancing to the street where there was more room.
Talk about a heart opener! It's the best party I've been to in awhile. A good time was had by all. 🥰
How wonderful! Yes, partying with children is always so rewarding!
