Hello Delhi - A Foggy Arrival

Although dense fog at the Indira Gandhi Airport delayed some flights, all team members have safely arrived in Delhi.


This afternoon following our first team meeting we set off for a brief tour of Delhi. Our first stop was the Sikh temple "Gurudwara Bangla Sahib". Among many things for which this temple is known it feeds approximately 15,000 people daily from a large publicly staffed "soup kitchen". It also contains a large pool of holy water in which devotees drink and bathe.

We also toured a local souk near the Jama Masjid mosque where we were treated to a bicycle rickshaw tour through the amazingly crowded narrow passageways.

Tomorrow we begin our first clinic day. All the teams will work together in the Rohini section of North Delhi. We will setup in a local civic center for the day.

Pray that all weary travelers get rest this evening and that all logistics go smoothly as we begin the 2007 Mission.
