In the evening of Day 1 (Sunday 16th) we were visited at the YMCA by Prince David (yes that's his real name!), Tearfund's regional adviser for India. He told us a lot about Tearfund's work, most of which I can't remember now. By that point it was a real struggle to keep my eyes open having slept for only about 3 of the last 36 hours! We were very impressed by his character though. He carries a lot of responsibility and is in touch with a huge amount of misery and suffering- yet he came across as relaxed, friendly, humble and compassionate and it felt like a joy to be in his presence.
I'm going to have to try to hurry this up a bit now as I'm getting seriously behind on my blogging!
