This May’s visit to the Aroma’s Homes was quite pleasant. The rains had abated somewhat, but it was still cool enough to be comfortable.
The children were still at school so we spent some time talking with the caretakers. The new buildings were coming up slowly. Concrete blocks had been laid for the walls, and beams were set in place for a slab that was to be the roof.
The children were thrilled to see us, and literally charged down the road towards us.
They had plenty of stories to tell about their new toys and about each other.
The girls were in good health and doing quite well at school too. They hadn’t lost their penchant for teasing each other either.
The boys looked slightly thin and seemed to be going through a growth spurt, but it was practically impossible to keep them in one place. If they were not at school, they were playing never ending games of cricket in the hot sun.
The new toys were still being passed around and shared amongst themselves and they all seemed quite satisfied!
