Enjoying the Visitors

Meher is really enjoying herself with all the volunteers at the Women's Centre!




Here she is playing with one of the teachers there.



And here she is with some of her classmates!

She is doing well and her surgery will take place later this month!

Last day of Expansion!

Meher's last day of expansion was Friday, July 31st. She is completely ready for her second surgery. This time around she is better prepared in terms of knowing what to expect, and her recovery time will be much shorter as the surgery needed for her right hand is far simpler than the complete reconstruction that was done on her left hand.
Some Project Why volunteers are staying at the Women Centre, and Meher is really enjoying their company. She is also keeping them constantly amused, as you can see by this video of her dancing!

More Visitors and New Friends

Yesterday Cecilia and Kyle, volunteers at Project Why in Govindpuri, came to visit the Women's Centre. Everyone at the Centre enjoyed their visit and Meher was also excited to meet them! She spoke to them in English (How are you? I am fine? What is your name? Meher!).


The expansion is progressing well (as you can see, the expanders keep getting bigger!) and her second surgery is expected to take place at the beginning of July.

Meher's New Friend

My childhood friend Mattie arrived in New Delhi on Saturday night. She came from Chicago, so brought more donations from supporters in Barrington and a camcorder so I can continue documenting everything that is happening with Meher. She met Meher today and gave her the very cute clothes sent from parents at Grove Avenue Elementary School.



Meher was very excited both by Mattie and the new camcorder. She invited us to her house and her mother insisted that we drink tea there, despite the fact that her father was sleeping and we didn't want to disturb him! Meher was very excited to have a new visitor and showed us lots of things in her house. She also took a liking to Mattie's digital camera and showed a lot of interest in photography, especially taking pictures of herself!
