PAROTA

Today was for sure a good day! I woke up and got to talk to my family, had kind of a bad connection but that's to be expected right?! So that was a good start. Then got ready and I was off to medical!

We went to a colony that was near the place that we did the Micro Grant Tours. I was originally assigned to go to the preschool but I talked to the coordinator and we figured something out. This made me really happy because this was my last time doing medical and I actually wanted to be with the patients. This colony was tiny we helped, only 4 people. Our group actually split into two, one to the colony the other to a preschool in the village. The preschool had about 10 children. As they arrived to school and saw us Americans I think it was a little overwhelming so they would cry. Eventually the children did chipper up but they just had to get used to us. A very cute thing that happens with the girls is that they wear these cute anklets around their ankles that jingle, it is darling!

The children got their check ups from the nurses and then we left to the colony! 

When we got to the colony we set up our video about taking care of your self, wounds,etc... So they watched the video then we set up our assembly line to take care of their alysers! I had the same job as last time. The water manager which involves taking the dirty water to the designated area and dumping it out. Then swishing around just basic water and dumping that out. Then using antiseptic water, swishing it around, dumping it out. Then I go and put the bucket underneath the chair of the patient having their feet washed. I like this job because I get to watch but it kinda stinks because I don't get to actually do anything with the patients...

After the colony we went and picked up those at the preschool, just down the street. Then went to go get lunch!! At the restaurant there was parota. I love PAROTA now, it is so yummy! It is basically a flaky nana bread. Some people actually got a meal there, I would give an example but I can't remeber the names! 

After the restaurant, which they call hotels here! We went to the junction. To get some henna for those who didn't go to the junction yesterday, which was everyone but Amberlee and I. We got out of the bus and went to the shop to buy some and they had 1 box! So they bought that box and we went to like 3 other stores and everyone was out! So that kinda stunk! But there is always delhi! I bought some Indian treats to eat though and I am super excited! 

Then we headed back to Risng Star!

Thank you sweet Sudah!!
