Handwashing Review at Ramavaram

Another clip from last Saturday's (April 4th, 2009) visit to Ramavaram. In this visit, we went over the technique of handwashing with the children of Ramavaram that we first taught on the first day of our educational programme.

Toothbrushing Lessons at Ramavaram

A small movie clip from our trip on April 4th, 2009. One of the girls at Ramavaram, just taught by Vandhana, explains to the rest of the group how to brush our teeth. After this, we gave each of the kids a toothbrush to help reinforce the lesson.

Ramavaram Video Clips

On our first visit to Ramavaram, on March 8th, 2008, Alex Myla took a short video clip of our activites on his cellphone. It shows a little bit of the slum, the riverbed where the residents wash their clothes, and some of our members playing with the children and distributing food.

Though the clip is a little short and blurry, it captures some of our earliest moments and it also shows more of the slum than can be demonstrated in pictures.

On Sunday's Diwali trip (October 26th, 2008), I took a similar pan of the Ramavaram slum. Watching these clips together demonstrates the effect of the recent rains on the Adyar river, which is now quite full.
