Children's Excursion to Charminar

Brother Raju is with 11 of the 14 children we recently took to Hyderabad. It was a great bonding time with the children. Because of the number of children we're involved with, it's difficult to see any of them more than once a week to minister to them and spend time with them. On this trip we were with these girls for 2 and a half days, which was such a blessing for the 5 of us adults who accompanied them. 
 
The building behind them is Charminar, an old monument built by a Muslim ruler more than 400 years ago. It has become a major tourist spot in Hyderabad, and a marketplace for tourist activity. There are literally hundreds of shops in the surrounding area. Two of our girls were crying, apparently overwhelmed by the massive number of people and activity going on all around us. You can get a small idea of the number of people in the area in the 2nd photo, taken from the upper level of the Charminar building.
