I thought Water Fun Day meant water balloon fights and tosses. Little did I know that I would feel like a gatorade-drenched football coach after a successful win. We went to a Boys and Girls home located within a nearby Delhi church with buckets and empty water balloons in tow. Each child comes here with a unique story but most of their parents simply cannot afford to care for them.
As the water relay games began, a few of us filled up water balloons for a toss. Around the corner from the festivites and behind the safety of a wall, I assumed we were out of the splash zone. A teenage girl began nonchalantly filling up her blue bucket at the sink beside mine and she overturned the bucket on my head before I knew it. From then on we were sliding along the floor (no slip and slide necessary) and drenched, even their house mom joined us. This must be what Water Fun Day means in India. :)
