I\nlearned a lot of things about Indian habits and I shared beautiful daily\nmoments with the family. Moreover thanks to the life in a host family I can\nunderstand the difference between village life and town life. It\u2019s very\ninteresting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"http:\/\/fsl-india.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG-20190816-WA0000-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17383\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"http:\/\/fsl-india.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG-20190821-WA0005-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17386\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fsl-india.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG-20190821-WA0005-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/fsl-india.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG-20190821-WA0005-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fsl-india.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG-20190821-WA0005-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fsl-india.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG-20190821-WA0005-360x270.jpg 360w, https:\/\/fsl-india.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG-20190821-WA0005.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>During the work time we learned a lot of things about the\nconstruction. We were helped by two masons and some inhabitants. People are\nvery helpful. They offered us some tea and biscuits every morning. They are\nvery kind. It\u2019s very great to work in this village.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"497\" src=\"http:\/\/fsl-india.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG-20190822-WA0021-1024x497.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17391\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, we spent time at school to play with kids and to\nteach them some English words. They are very appealing and energetic. We shared\ngames and dances with them and they taught us some games too. I will really\nmiss them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"http:\/\/fsl-india.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG-20190823-WA0039-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17395\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Then during the weekend, we were free, so we could visit. For\nexample, we went to Bangalore, Mysore and Mangalore It\u2019s very easy to travel in\nIndia. You just have to go to a bus station and say the destination and get on\nthe bus. We also played cricket in the village of our great coordinator, Manju.\nHe was here for us all the time. He also served us as a coordinator at the\nvillage and at school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"http:\/\/fsl-india.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG-20191003-WA0032-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17403\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This humanitarian experience is unique, unforgettable and rich.
