One of the guys I have been in contact with who has been helping me out with my study, is in India and has recently hooked me up with an orphanage in Calcutta to work with. It turns out they don't need much to have donated, but rather something much more meaningful and dear to my heart.

The lady who helps run the orphanage who I've been in contact with, said that the girls at the orphanage would love for me to come and talk with them about my life here in the U.S. and that they would love  for me to bring pictures of my family, and friends, and life at school to show them.

This, if anything, has made me more excited to be making this trip. To know that there are people on the other end, the other side of the world who are excited to see me, makes it all even more worthwhile!
