Shirapur Visit

The first village we visited was Shirapur, where Ali interviewed two groups of women. We were picked up at the hotel in Sholapur by a husband and wife hired to drive us. Many bumpy miles later, we arrived in Shirapur.

In between the interviews, we were shown the fields surrounding the village, including a banana grove.
With the first group of women. The woman on my right was so funny and wanted to "come to America" with me.
I'm holding Krishna, who instantly warmed to my winking, which turned out to be a great ice-breaker.

Receiving a Hindu blessing from our hostess - a very humbling experience.

Little Krishna - what an adorable little girl!
