Making a difference..............

Ben resting.

It was so nice Ben just walked over to this nice lady and started helping her.

Ben and his new friends. Actually, the boy in middle goes to school with Ben.
Mom! Look how dirty I am.
Team work!


Look at my trash pile!



Team work!
He really can work with others. He did such a great job.



The clean up team.
Ben is very excited.

Ben and his friends getting questions from a reporter. Wow! Those baby blues.....

A found treasure. Ha ha
Mom look how dirty my hands are.
Picking up the trash.



Well, Ben made the front page of the local paper (page one and 4 on May 27, 2009, check it out by clicking on the link). It is for his efforts in helping cleaning a local park that has been long left behind. Ben will be cleaning the park all week. The nice thing that I really saw was that there were all different kinds of people helping out. Some people from the neighborhood, kids and people stopping on their way to work. It was nice to see the people of Ahmedabad coming together to made Ahmedabad a "Green City". After Ben's picture ran in the paper today we got tons of calls telling us that he is an inspiration to them to do something to help because he is a foreigner child that wants to help make the city green. Here are a few of the pictures I took of Ben working. I know I posted a lot of pictures but we are just so proud. Enjoy!
