Super heroes!!

Namasté!

Two children in New Delhi had a birthday party when they were turning 10 years old. They decided to ask all their guests to bring money instead of presents. The money would go to the poor children in New Delhi.

They went to the stationary shop with friends and bought.....

erasers and pencils... 

pencil cases and sharpeners.

One friends and a little sister came and helped packing everything.

The shop assistant happily tought the children some Hindi. No hurry in India!!

There was enough Money left for note pads, balls and cricket sets (which is very popular here in India)!  Tomorrow we are going to the  Agamya school(website www.saveearth.in). The same school  Carl and I  visited before with some of our Swedish visitors. 

All the children from Aes (American embassy school ) are off from school Thursday and Friday this week due to Thanksgiving.

This boy didn´t get any presents from his friends for himself. However, you should have seen him today deciding what to give to poor children!! If this could inspire more children (adults and schools) in Sweden, England or Finland, then Carl and I would be happy to help if anyone would like to make a difference for a poor child in India. 

I also went to a market to get some saffron. We would like to bake some saffron buns prior to Christmas. To find saffron I had to go by car 35 minutes one way!!!

The shop owner was very nice. As I had nearly no voice at all he made me a nice cup of tea. No hurry in India!!

This is how it looks in lot´s of shops. The space is limited. 

In the shop two men were wrapping tea in small boxes and then in plastic bags. Labour surplus makes the shops filled with men. Usually more labour than customers. I got 1 gram of saffron for 288INR(45SEK, 4GBP, 4,75EUR). I sat down and had a cup of tea and believe me or not by the time I was home my throat was so much better.


I did one more stop on my way home to buy cloves in Basant Lok, the market next to where I live, it made me furious!!! 
Cloves 5 g costs  1375INR (210SEK, 19 GBP, 22,69EUR). That is really profiteering!! I don`t like  this shop called "Le Marche" at all. Our Kellog´s flakes are far more expensive here than compared to in England or Sweden. 

Soon I will meet my daughter again as she is spending Christmas in India with us. I miss her a lot but I know she is having a good time and is very happy. You can´t ask for more.
