Home
After a very long day of travel we arrived home yesterday. We'd like to thank everyone for following the blog and contact us if you have any questions - we will be meeting as a class this semester and spending a lot of time reflecting on this experience. Dr. Fyfe is going to be coming back to HOINA next year with another group of students - contact him if you are interested!
Day 13 & 14: Sightseeing
Day 13 we enjoyed the beautiful Mughal architecture of the Taj Mahal, Agra Fort and the baby Taj. We got a lot of beautiful photos at these amazing structures. After visiting and learning a lot of Indian history we started to head back to Delhi for our last day in India. On the way back we were able to stop at McDonald's, and it made us all really happy. On Day 14 we went and visited a lot of sites in Delhi, such as the Stone Tower and many different religious buildings. We also learned a lot about the different religions in India, such as Sikhism, Hinduism, Jainism and many more. We also got to walk through one of the major market areas of Delhi. It was here that we found our cricket bats, and were able to talk them down from 400 rupees for just the bat to 400 rupees for the bat and the ball. That came out to about $10 US incase you were wondering. We are now all finishing packing and resting up before we leave for the airport at 11:30 tonight and head home. This has been a great trip and we can't wait to share our experience with our family and friends.
Day 12: Visak to Agra
Today was a sad day, we had to say good bye to all the children. :( Some of us may have cried a little, but it was hard to leave the children. We then traveled by plane from Visak to Delhi. From Delhi we were picked up and started to heads towards Agra. We were in search of McDonalds, craving some chicken nuggets, but when we reached a McDonald's it was closed. We arrived in Agra around 1 in the morning and all enjoyed the nice comfy beds of the hotel.
India Day 11: Last Day at HOINA :(
Day 11 was our last full day at HOINA. After breakfast we played some cricket with the boys and then headed over to hang out with the girls for a while. In the afternoon we were busy with getting ready for the program that we were having that night. All of us students practice a dance that one of the older girls, Arshwaria, taught us to perform for the kids. We also worked out a puppet show for the children. The program was suppose to start at 4, but since it was India, us girls were still trying to get our saris on at 4:30. When then went to the program, where all the kids had worked on songs and dances to perform for us. Since it is close to Fyfe's birthday "Mom" had gotten cake and ice cream for the kids. After the children had moved back to their houses, we got to have a nice chat with "Mom" about how HOINA started, her life and struggles, and was very uplifting for us all. She also gave us these cute mugs which she had gotten a picture of each of us and put on them as a memory of out time at HOINA. We then moved onto dinner at the boy's house, but were told we were not allowed in yet because it was not ready. Finally they allowed us in, they had set the table with candles and clapped for us as we came in. It was really sweet of them. Dinner consisted of all our favorite dishes from our time at India. We then enjoyed a great dance party....by dance party I mean we fist pumped and stood in a circle watching them dance to Hannah Montana. It was a great last evening that made us all feel loved and really sad to have to leave.
India Day 10: Bora Caves
On day 10 we went and visited the Bora Caves. We were able to enjoy the beautiful scenery while driving up the mountain to reach the cave. Since it was a holiday for the majority of Visak there were a lot of people. While at the caves we got our picture taken a lot with people because we were white. It was an experience to say the least. The caves were interesting to look at. After we were done with the caves we headed back to HOINA stopping to have a picnic lunch on the side of the road. We were also given a treat for dinner, "Mom" bought us Pizza Hut while she was in the city and brought it back to us. We were all excited and went to bed happy.
India Day 8 & 9: Nursing Roadtrip to Bapatla
While the others were putting the finishing touches on the painting, we nursing students (Summer and Hannah I.) traveled with "Mom" down to Bapatla to visit several clinics in the area. After a twelve hour car trip we arrived in Bapatla and stayed the night in a character-building hotel. Summer and I both learned many things about traveling in third world countries and the quality of Indian hotels. We met with Dr. Solomon and toured his dental clinic and had a tour of his wife's imaging center. She has an untra-sound and CAT scan. Her CAT scan is the only one in the region and costs approx. $50 for a scan. Even at this price it is an expensive procedure for the local villagers. We then toured Baer Hospital, which was a century old missionary hospital that is currently being renovated. After touring the hospital Summer and I had a tour of an HIV/ AIDS clinic.
Two days prior to touring the clinics in Bapatla several of us had the opportunity to tour Apollo Hospital in Visak. This hospital specialized in heart and kidneys. As nursing students Summer and I were surprised by the conditions of the large-city hospital. The most notable difference between Apollo and American hospitals was the lack of privacy and hygiene.
In comparison, after seeing the conditions of Apollo Hospital, we were surprised by the relatively nice clinics in Bapatla. It was also interesting to see that most of the clinics were empty related to the harvest festival that is currently going on. Dr. Solomon told us that the patients would return when the festival ends.

India Day 8 (cont.): Amazing Indian Hosptality
while Mike, Angie and Chris stayed behind to finsh painting, Liana, Julia, Amanda, Sarah, and myself traveled into Kotavalesa to visit a tailor shope to get our sari dresses' tops sewn... Little did we know what all we would see! Johnny's wife (both of them are workers at HOINA) accompianed us and let us around the busy streets of the nearby town. After visiting the tailor and grabbing a cold drink (Fanta & Sprites), we went bangle bracelet shopping!!! (FINALLY!!!!!) She took us to this little store that was crammed full of lovely bangles of every color imaginable. Johnny's wife treated us to match bangle bracelets for each of our saris. (I got pink & red!)......Little did Amanda and I know what we would see next.... So, since this store was a little crammed, we moved outside onto the sidewalk to get some fresh air. As we were talking, a man with a snake around his shoulders came walking down the sidewalk towards us... AHHHHHHHH!!! We quickly ran inside the store. As the man walked by the store, we peered out and when he met our glaze, he came in the doorway to take a look (probably because we are Americans and we stick out, just as much as snakes on shoulders do). Then, Johnny's wife so kindly let us come into her home and she fixed us a delicious snack. The rest of the day was spent practicing english at the boys home, playing with the girls, and now we are off to help the boys study before dinner and bed.... Cricket @ 6:30am tomorrow!!
Bye! -Hannah :)

India Day 8: Merry Christmas and Early Mornings
For the third straight morning, most of us got up at 5:30am for our daily hike with the boys. Today's hike was a special one and one that the boys had looked forward to taking us on all week, the mountain hike! At first the mountain looked like only a hill, but as we got closer and closer our group discovered that this was going to be a challenge. The boys were very helpful with our missions both up and down the mountain as some of the terrain we have not gotten used to yet. This walk allowed us to get away from the streets and town life and see India in its natural environment. After getting back from our hike, we finished touching up the fence we have been working on all week. The only bad news is we ran out of paint! Plans have changed according to what we were supposed to be doing. Today we were going to start working on the guest house, but Mom has thrown out the schedule and says to play with the kids! "The kids are the most important!" she says. Hannah and Summer have embarked on an overnight journey with Mom to visit some tribal and village hospitals.
Last night was HOINA's Christmas celebration. The reason this was held so late was because they were waiting for Mom to come over from the United States. The celebration occurred two times; once at the girls home and the other at the boys. Each child received a gift and as they were handed out, everyone would stand and cheer! It was very touching to see all these kids and how happy they were from receiving their present and seeing all of their other brothers and sisters receive a gift too.
We have been trying to add pictures, but we are still trying to figure out the process.
Stay tuned,
Mike and Angie

India Day 7: Almost Done Painting!
Things are still going well over here. The fence is almost painted, and we're finally starting to remember names. We're all practicing our Telegu words in hopes of impressing our family and friends back home. We've gotten into a pretty good routine at this point of working during the day while the kids are at school and playing with them or helping them with homework at night. At this point we've all defied our college sleeping schedules - we're usually asleep by 9 and awake before the sun. We've also been getting up early to go for a walk with the boys. Yesterday we went through a village and this morning we took a long 2 hour walk through the woods. At one point 3 different boys were holding Mike's hands at the same time, and I faceplanted into a dirt pile. We'll definitely have stories to tell when we get home! Mike and I also both got licked by a water buffalo. Mike says it was a kiss, I say it was an attempted attack. The village was neat to see because it such a stark difference in living from what we're used to, and everybody seems so genuinely happy..
Look for more later today....I just found out I'm headed into the city with Mom and some of the girls to visit the Apollo Hospital and other sights.

India Day 6: Even More Painting!!
Today for breakfast we had these white rice-bread patties, toast, and papaya. Not the best breakfast, but some still enjoyed it. After breakfast we went right to work painting and white washing the gates. Some of the Hoina boys stayed home from school to help us again, which was Awesome! It gave us time to hang with some of the boys while enjoying the great outdoors while painting! We are all getting great tans, and for some of us farmer tans! At 1pm we headed over to lunch with the boys. Lunch was fried mystery meat with another fried mystery puff, neon rice (which I like to think they used lighting bugs to get the coloring), white rice and oranges. After lunch some of us went back to our rooms and grabbed a fast snack before heading back to work. We worked till about 515pm. We finished painting the yellow, pink, purple, blue and orange-red gates. Some of us ended up being covered in paint! The hoina boys found it hilarious. Some of the Hoina boys got to try their first poptart. They thought it was gross, but some ate it anyways. The one boy Isreal ate a whole poptart and almost gagged. Mom arrived today and we are celebrating Christmas for the kids tonight. Each kid gets one present which we wrapped last night. Now most of us are using the free internet phone to call home.

India Day 5: Painting and Whitewashing
Today was a long and busy day but we got a lot accomplished! Some of us were up by 4:30 this morning to take a walk with some of the boys before they had to get back to get ready for school. It was a really nice way to start to the day, and we got to see villages up close, which was fun after only having driven past them until now. Some people even got to go inside a thatched roof hut. After getting back and eating breakfast, it was time to get to work. Sarah and I stayed behind and peeled lots of potatoes while everybody else got started on whitewashing and painting. Eventually we all met up and spent the rest of the day working on it. Most of the posts are whitewashed by now (an all day job by lots of people!), so there's mostly just the gates left to be painted. It's a long tedious job, but will look nice when it's finished. Mrs. Large, the HOINA founder, is due to arrive tomorrow, so we are working to get things done before she gets here.
Currently some people are helping students with their study time, while others are wrapping gifts to give to the kids. Once Mrs. Large gets here, the kids will have their Christmas celebration, in which every child will recieve presents, which is a true blessing for them.
Until next time!

India Days 3 and 4: Sanding and Shopping
It seems that many of us have finally caught up on sleep from our longs days of travel and are starting to get on a normal 5am to 9pm day. Our whole group had the chance to participate in a cricket match held at the boys home at 6am. It was a very interesting time, especially for those accustomed to baseball and softball. After breakfast, our group finished sanding the entire front wall of the HOINA campus. It looks like tomorrow we will be white washing as well as painting the iron fences that line the front of the property. Following lunch, our group split into two groups and went to play at the Boys and the Girls homes. Summer hosted a pin wheel party in the Girls home that was a huge hit. The girls made over 160 pin wheels and had a blast doing it. Some of the other York girls sang "Heads, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes" and everyone got a huge kick out of it. Those who went over to the boys home had the chance to participate in frisbee, red rover, football (soccer), and cricket. I had the chance to bond with a fellow Micheal (note the different spelling) after dinner and he introduced me to a new game called "SOS." Also, Chris and myself had three epic battles of chess with the boys and we won the series 2-1.
Today, we traveled to Vizianagaram and first visited the superintendent of police. The journey took about an hour to get to the city and on the way (the very bumpy way) we got to experience some of the different landscapes India has to offer. Its interesting how the road system works here; the roads are barely big enough for two lanes, yet somehow fits buses, trucks, tuk-tuks, and motorcycles "easily." Here we registered with him our passport information, along with our travel arrangements for the rest of our journey. After registering, the girls went to CMR, which is a mall that opened just three days ago. Here they all bought saris and churidars to wear on the final night at HOINA as well as other portions of travel we will be embarking on. Well its almost study time, so a bunch of us are headed to the Boys and Girls homes. Hope all is well back in the US for all of our family and friends! Happy belated New Year!

Our First Days In India
After days of travelling, long flights and too much airplane food, we have reached HOINA. It has taken us a day now to find a way to access the blog and we were finally successful thanks to Wi-Fi and Chris' laptop. All of our flights went smoothly. Even our 9 hour layover in Delhi was entertaining. Most of it was spent sleeping on the floor, playing games and eating Magictime Tummy Yummys (an Indian form of the Pringle). And finally, we arrived at HOINA, and the children were more than anxious to see us. We were met with smiling faces and bouquets of flowers. Everyone was so excited to see us (too bad we all were beyond exhausted), After settling into our rooms which are very nice, we had the chance to make our calls home and spend time with the children. The children and the staff have gone out of their way to make us feel welcomed and comfortable. We had the chance to enjoy a New Years Eve service last night at a church about 6 km in town. Because of the combination of the service being in Telegu and the exhaustion from travelling, some of us, unfortunately, could not stay awake. Today was a busy day. After a delicious breakfast, which we ate around the same time you were celebrating the New Year, we were put to work. Some of us painted a wall and others sanded one of the surronding gates. For the rest of the night, we will have the opportunity to spend time with the children and enjoy the rest of the evening. We send our love and will update again soon. Be sure to leave comments!

Welcome to the Blog! 1 week until departure
Dec.19th, 2010 - I am thrilled to have the opportunity to keep a blog on my trip to India this winter. From Dec. 26th to Jan. 15th, 10 students (including myself) and Dr. David Fyfe will be in India to help out at HOINA ( Homes of the Indian Nation). We will do whatever tasks are asked of us while staying on the Hoina campus. This can include anything from teaching English, cooking, painting and playing with the children. I am anxious to begin our trip and more importantly honored that I have the opportunity to do so. I am planning to keep everyone up to date as much as possible. Our trip and the blog has already been mentioned in Honia's monthly newsletter.http://www.hoina.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/HOINADec_web.pdf My idea to start blogging on trips started this past summer while in Egypt. I felt it was very successful because family and friends can keep up to date on the things we were doing.I hope that the blog is a useful tool to all who are following. In order to know more about me, please feel free to visit the "About Me" page on the site. More posts are soon to come. - Matt Peterson
