Day 6- Janakpuri






We got to ride in bikeshaws today, Bri and my rickshaw almost won until the end.
This is another community that we are visiting through the Smile Foundation. This is an unprivileged community who is in need of health care, and the Smile Foundation provides them a team of doctors and medications.

Day 5- Chattapur Kumhar Basti






This is a community that we are getting the chance to help along with Smile Foundation. This a slum in Delhi that is considered unprivileged and we are hoping our video will help promote more people to help them out. Regardless the children and families in the town were the nicest and most welcoming, they are also so happy even with conditions.

Day 5- Chattapur Temple





On our way to a Smile Foundation location we got to stop and take a look around at this Hindu Temple.

Day 4 Old Delhi- Spice Market






The crazy and chaotic Spice Market. The spices were soooo strong around the strip that we were all sneezing and coughing.... until we finally got use to it.

Day 4 Old Delhi- Gali Paranthe Wali






Gali Paranthe Wali is a narrow, festive land with shops selling fabric and saris to young brides, who are looking for their traditional gowns. I also spotted a family of monkeys down this alley. The monkeys here are considered holy and its goodluck to have them steal from your shop.

Day 4 Old Delhi- Jama Masjid Mosque






Along our adventure in the Chondi Chowk neighborhood we visited the Jama Masjid Mosque. This India's largest Islamic mosque. We got a lot of exterior pictures, but were not allowed to enter because we weren't clothed from head to toe. Although, it was still a beautiful sight from the outside.
