Hi everybody, after a super service at St John's Vellore (where we greeted the folk in the name of our own St John's) , we went for lunch (again) at The Darling Residency (we now have our own table!). The Head Waiter remembered our group arriving upstairs in the Rooftop Restaurant five years ago... I wonder why?
We were then sped along the lanes around Vellore to reach the MBKGP Orphanage, where we have been sponsoring children since 2004. It was such a delight to see "our" children five years on, and of course, they had grown! We had a great time just catching-up with them and finding out more about them. MBKGP could not have made us more welcome. Tea, followed by an invitation to speak to all the children and lead them in song, followed by a detailed inspection of all the cottages and a chance to meet EVERY child (160 of them) and their House Mothers and House Grandmothers, all of whom had gone to great lengths to make sure that their areas were spic and span for our visit. Supper followed - in lavish amounts; we left, exhausted but exhilarated. We are there again on Tuesday.
