When we had got home and left our bags in the appartment we immediately left to enlist our self at the missionaries of charity. We arrived there way to early o we sat down by Mother Teresas tomb and watched allot of people come and go. Some sat next to her tomb and prayed for five minutes, some sat there for hours. It was very emotional. After a while there were a sister who came with some novices and they sat on their knees and prayed for 30 minutes. Their prayer was very monotonous and quiet. Some of us wrote a note and left at the tomb for the sisters to pray for.

When the time for enlisting had come we met with sister mercy Maria and we showed her our letter of consent. However it did not go as in planned. The interviews for our thesis which we had spoke to them about for so many times was suddenly refused. Our stress level went from zero to a hundred within no time at all. Our minds started to work and we made up new plans for how to manage to get the information that we needed in order to be able to write our thesis.

Bavri and Kari Marie enlisted for work with the dying people at Kaligath home. The people who are there are picked up from the streets and taken to Kaligath so that they will get a worthy end of their lives.

Me and Raj enlisted for work at Daya dan, which is a home for physicly and mentaly disabled children. These children is not accepted in the Indian society and would most likely not be alive if they wouldn´t have been found and taken to Daya dan. Some of them are autistic, some of them have got downsyndrom, some are blind.
