Today we woke up at 7:30 and did yoga. Some boys went on a walk. After breakfast, we all went down to Hope Clinic. The girls had their sarees fitted while the boys finished painting the inside of the new addition to the clinic, which will serve as a daycare once finished. Some of the girls saw the women in the sewing center work. They were embroidering pillow covers with intricate designs.

We had a lunch of Indian-style hamburgers and fries. Then we had some downtime as we waited for the evening performance. At 5, the entertainment arrived which consisted of traditional  female dancers and musicians. We all crowded into the terrace of the house where lights and speakers were setup. The local families joined us to watch the performances. It was a fantastic way to connect with the local community. The musicians played traditional songs on the tablas and violin. The dancers were dressed up in headpieces and intense, expression-extentuating makeup, white powder and thick eyeliner. The dances were punctuated by hand gestures and lots of facial expression. We socialized with the locals during breaks and it was highly entertaining. It was an enjoyable night for all.
