Sounds to me like she would enjoy talking to someone from back home once in awhile. How long is she there with you for, since you are not technically adopting her? It might be nice to give her a calling card or something as long as she doesn't tie up the phone forever. But a calling card will give her a little bit of freedom and privacy as well, since she could use it from any phone, not just yours. I've used OneSuite and found the rates to be pretty good.
I also agree with leenab about food. If you are fortunate to live somewhere with a variety of ethnic foods and restaurants, even non-Indian, but also non-American, that may help too. Sometimes kids think that adults are not open to try new things, and it intimidates them to bring them up.
Good luck!
