You must be the change you wish to see in the world. Gandhi. What is Rising Star Outreach? Thursday, February 13, 2014. I just spent 3 weeks in India.

I was driving into town yesterday appreciating all those things but then I remembered I had seen beggars here before! He wore ragged clothes.so did they.

You must be the change you wish to see in the world. Gandhi. What is Rising Star Outreach? Wednesday, January 29, 2014. Hobi's visit to India 2012. I love to tell the kids here that I am married. The response is always the same. Sometimes I bring up the subject just to get the reaction. It starts out with wide eyes and gaping mouth. Then the kids exchange looks and say things I can’t understand because its in Tamil. Then I take a double stab and hold up 4 fingers. 8220;You have 4 children? 8221; they gasp.

Friday Night we said our good-byes to the Rising Star kids. It was the dreaded moment we were all expecting the day we we said “Hello.” Over the 3 weeks personalities emerged from their sweet faces that were once impossible to tell apart. Now, on the last day, names and faces are branded into our hearts. How could we ever forget them? Today I was a minority in ...

You must be the change you wish to see in the world. Gandhi. What is Rising Star Outreach? Monday, January 27, 2014. Barefoot with a shovel. Today I visited a tiny leprosy colony to help build a latrine. This little colony has never had a toilet! Six people live in this colony (I think) I only met 3 of them.

Hobis ...
