Today we went to Sunita’s house. Sunita is one of the girls who works at NIRMAN; she is about my age. We got to meet her whole family, which is herself, her father, her mother, her two little sisters, and one younger brother. Her brother also works at NIRMAN, and her sister Prima is in Grade 9, and her other sister is in Grade 7. Things of note: while their house was not very large, they have technology (DVD player and TV). Also, Indian hospitality is incredible- they gave us so much food and chai that I thought I was going to burst. They were incredibly nice to us, and I really hope that we can spend more time with them later, and possibly that I can pick up enough Hindi to talk to the father, who is an incredibly bubbly and happy man despite the large number of challenges their family faces.
