Last night we went with our NGO lady Nino to a film showing relating to water as a resource. It wasn't what we expected but it was actually really interesting for us Geographers. It was a perfect example of a case study in water management and to make it even more interesting was that this morning we went to the actual village where the self help groups worked the new initiative. It was really interesting stuff and we learnt some amazing things as well as having a great insight into the workings of a self sufficient village. English people really need to come out and experience the things we did and will be so much more knowledgable on many key issues relating to employment and supposed labour problems.
We have spent the whole day with Nina today and we are currently at her house with her daughter after experiencing some amazing Punjabi food, a wonderful home cooked breakfast this morning and then we will be going out with her tomorrow to the opening of a new initiative of Roof Top Gardens and re using waste water. Now going to go to a soap shop to pick up some of the soap that is made by the community we visited this morning and then go see San Tome church along the coast. We may head over to the Fort later as well.
We are due to visit Pulikat lake in the afternoon but then hopefully do a little more sightseeing in the afternoon. Over all the trip has improved dramatically and I really dont want to be heading home next week. I feel there is so much more to see and absolutely love the culture after becoming such much more knowledgable on everything from the language, traditions, history and way of life!
Keep up to date with where Sarah is in the world.
