After the Red light district we had the privilege of spending a few hours at the Comforter Childrens’ home on the outskirts of town. Comforter is home to 28 kids, about half of which are HIV+. It isn’t a sad or depressing place, but a home full of love, smiles & peace. The kids sang some heartfelt songs for us,

You know…your feet have never really been dirty until you’ve walked in India in sandals! Today our feet carried us up a tiny narrow staircase to the Comforter office right in the heart of the red light district of Pune.

It’s almost 10 pm here in Pune. As I type my eyes are having a hard time staying open. The traffic is still quite busy outside the window. I met 2 friends in Bombay at the airport and we got in to Pune early afternoon today (Thursday). We did some set up this afternoon for the team arriving early Saturday.
