Sorry for not blogging in the past few days ( rather weeks) :)) but it is very difficult to find time to spend with my computer, only the 2 of us :)
The 2nd week was mainly about visiting NGOs, interviewing them, getting larger overview on their projects and scopes and meeting great people who are helping thousands of poor people in the communities. Our project is the establishment of a Rural Health Training Center by conducting need assessment of the NGOs associated with the Tamil Nadu Voluntary Health Association. Tamil Nadu returned a total population of 7,21,38,958 (Provisional) in 2011. In percentage terms, the rural population formed 51.55% of the total population with the urban population constituting 48.45%. Of this, the rural population stands at 37.19 million and the urban population 34.95 million.
All of us ( Govert, Grazey and me) felt that we've been given a very special opportunity to meet these amazing people. The sparkle what we have seen in their eyes leads these organizations towards success. Willingness, faith and steadiness are the key factors of their successful operations. The whole week was awesome but if I could name the most touching visit, it would probably be that very short time we spent in a residential school where children rescued from child labor learn and live. It was very a heartbreaking moment which will always remain in my heart and mind.
As I am blogging from the hotel and the internet connection is very slow the pics will follow within a few days. :))
