Below is a photo of the 11th grade. There are three (now four) lovely, feisty girls in the grade. Simrin, Tenchung and Sagun have been incredibly welcoming of Grace and Grace is very happy to go off to school with them every day. Sagun, on the right, lives in the hostel and was the girl who took us to town the second day we were in Gangtok. Simrin is almost as tall as Grace (Grace is the tallest girl in the school) and she has been a great guide for Grace when it comes to classes and the like. We are hoping that the three girls will come to America this winter in order to visit colleges and that they will spend some time staying with us.

Corrina's grade is much larger than Grace's, can you spot her in the photo below? There are about 16 or 17 kids in her class. She has made some friends in the class -- I hope to get some photos of her with her friends soon.
Thanks for the great account of your journey! It is great to see the students and get a glimpse into their educational context. I look forward to more!

Such great pictures. It is great to hear that you and the girls are settling in and beginning to form friendships. loved the pictures of your "commute". I was thinking that maybe Abraham and Cynthia could take some pictures of the clogged traffic as we travel down 128 just to bring a little bit of home to Sikkum!.
