ABC Wednesday

I've joined a new blog group, ABC Wednesday. Each Wednesday photos, poetry, artwork, what have you is posted that features a letter in the alphabet. This week's letter...G. You can see lot's more g's if you follow the link here.

G is for...Girls, Gates and the Galilee
These three girls were in the city of Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh, India. All of the people throughout India loved to have their photographs taken.

This little sweetie was sitting on a street curb in Katmandu, Nepal. She was sitting alongside another little girl then, they were sitting on my lap!

These girls begged me to take their picture on the same street in Katmandu.

This beautiful girl was at a sidewalk school in Hyderbad, India. These schools were set up by Friends of Christ in India a mission outreach of Greenfield Hill Congregational Church in Fairfield, CT. The families are pavement dwellers and the parents are rag pickers. Often the children are sent out to work at a very young age. The school is designed to combat child labor and give the children an education.

This young girl lives in Darajat, a Bedouin village in the Negev. I spent a week with a friend living with a host family learning Arabic.

I found this girl in the town of Nuewiba in the Sinai.

And this girl was selling jewelry.

I've just moved back from a year in Jerusalem. Here are a few shots of the GATES surrounding the Old City. This one is New GATE.

Here's Jaffe GATE.

and GOLDEN GATE.

Damascus GATE.

And here we have Dung GATE which leads to the Kotel.

Finally, the sun rises over the Sea of Galilee.
