My Favorite (Twenty) Five Pictures

I agree that 25 favorites is too many to have, but I could not get it down any smaller (yeah right). These 25 pictures are my absolute favorites of my last three months in India (not including the other 75 I have already posted, which are also my favorites).

These kids are so good looking they made the brochure, the website, and my blog - twice.

Yes I know I should be a professional photographer.

Not so much the greatness of India as the greatness of Mel in his safari hat - ON a safari.

Dinesh - (Pretending to be) less than thrilled about having his picture taken.

I love Tata.

The biggest sweetheart in all of India.

A typical Indian family - small, dull and drab.

We love Sports Day. And practicing our overhand serve.

Matching sisters.

My school in the mountains.

Spotted owls. Again with the professionalism, I know. My next stint is with National Geographic.

Animals (er...students) in the classroom.

Serving crayons (Ramkumar's first and only picture without 62 teeth showing).

The Afternoon Fanclub.

Nap time.

Monsoon season.

Twins working hard.

1, 2, 3...Math class.

Sunset at Vidya Vanam.

Sports Day was so popular, I extended it to Sports Week. Too bad Parts of the Body Week did not share that same fate.

Living in a house made out of wheat could help increase your fiber intake.

Prasanth (left) who only answers to "Lion" thanks to my brilliant scheme, and his baby brother Nisanth (a very serious three year old).

Teacher trip to Silent Valley National Park.

Six year old Sabarish and his very tiny grandmother.

Relay races.

  1. Hello Katherine
    this is Anna, Ram's daughter, Nikhil's sister, I have been reading your blogs whenever I have had a chance to check up and see what new pictures you have posted, or stories you have, i have to say that i have been incredibly moved by some of your posts and would find myself crying while reading about the children, or tata, or the world there, or your teaching. It is really meaningful to me that you have done this for my family and pioneered into the school like you have. More then what you have done for my family, you have done so much more for the children, it is beautiful and i am really proud of you, and have so much respect for you. I am going to miss reading this once you return, but know that you have a family here in TN or the states. thank you so much for sharing this and for doing this.
    much much love
    warmly
    Anna purna Sriram
