Ramavaram Visit, January 25th, 2009

This morning Vasundhra, Ayesha and I took a trip to Ramavaram to say hello to the residents and see how they’ve been doing since the last time we were there. I hadn’t had a chance to visit since October so it was nice to see everyone. Since it is a long weekend because of Republic Day, we weren’t able to get much of a turnout. We went to a few of the houses and spoke with the residents, who were very kind and happy to see us. We visited one gentleman in particular, who has been ill for the past few months, on and off. After speaking with him for a little while, we asked him to come in to our hospital tomorrow morning, at which point we will take him for a medical examination. Starting next week we’d like to visit Ramavaram every week and spend some productive time with the children. We are also hoping to have a focus group soon in order to concentrate our efforts in the direction most needed by the community.
