Today We Go To Train Station...OK?

We walked along many train platforms to see the kids, talk to them, tell them to stop sniffing glue, and to come to Life Connection tomorrow...It was neat to see where they "live," although surprising how young some are and married already with children...
They let me take pictures...and acted silly...
Inside the station, one boy who I met at Life Connection on Thursday, ran over to me, put his arm around my shoulders and said, "hi aunty." I was startled, but greeted him, "Namaste." Suddenly a man grabbed him and hit him and my Indian friend said, "don't do this!" Oh dear, I was afraid this was my fault and the man was trying to protect me. Later my friend explained that the man was accusing the boy of stealing from him. I hope that is not true either...hopefully I will see him tomorrow...speaking of tomorrow I need to go pick a story to tell and prepare for that...ok, I go now...
