Picture Update.

 Lauren, Heather, and I wearing our Shair's for the first time. It took us way to long to get these things on. A Shari is basically just 6 yards of fabric that you wrap around your body until it looks like this. I still don't know how to put one of these things on myself.

This is Mehtali. She is one of my friends who is insanely talkative. Her father works here as a guard and her mother is a cleaning lady. She grew up in the slums of Dhaka where she learned to fear almost everything.

This was our dinner when we went to Sidduge's house for Eid. Eid is the holiday where the Hindu's send over all their old gods (cows) so that muslims can kill them. As you can see we didn't get any meat (which I am okay with). You can see fried eggs, cucumbers, french fry things, orange and pomegranate, rice, fried chilies, and a dhal patty. They brought out more food for us too.  The people here are so generous.

 This is Shati, our cook, washing my foot for communion. She is probably thinking, "man, this american girl has huge feet." Shati has baby feet.

Here are all the clothes that we need to give away. We have only given away 1/3 of them. You can see all the villagers in the background waiting for their turn to get a free outfit.

 Mrs. Waid trying to see if a dress fits one of the baby girls from the village. On the right you can see Oly (in the pink) and a few of the other village children. These children are better dressed than a lot of the kids that came to get free clothes.

 This is the little blind girl that came to get some clothes. It isn't a very good picture but I didn't want to seem rude to the mother for taking her daughter's picture.

 This is our new baby, Silas. I got to name him! He is adorable even though he is drooling.

Danny is always in our room. He makes me happy. He pretty much just entertains himself with our stuff. Danny really likes Heather's ipod. Also notice the awesome bug nets that we have to have around our bed.

Dressed like Bengali woman. We have the dots on our foreheads, Sharwa Camis', and henna on our hands. We thought we were cool until we realized the henna might stay there for a month. Thank goodness it didn't!

I posted more pictures on my facebook. Here is the link to see them:
