Last two days were different at O-campus
Venkattapa and Kids managed to make work each other. The
work at shelter has moved ahead. The shelter team is exploring making of bricks
with cowdung, mud and stones.
While JCB was coming
- I loaded few tyres in it and this became an excitement at campus.
Today we realized that we have to cover the sides also, as the
wind is “too much”. Venktappa first was lovingly angry with us “I told you earlier
also” and then he started planning with kids. Kids also have started understanding
him and his excitement. He will continue to work on wed, we will join him on Thursday.
I pasted drawings at the door – and the entire foundation
team was excited……..it was like a treasure for them. Each on calling other and
showing the drawing – I did not imagined that a small act will create excitement
at site.
Sports time is the most fun………..running at par with them:)
Food team continue to supply us fresh food with their love
and care. Yesterday they also came up three tags in food arrangement “Proteins,
Carbohydtares, Vitamins & minerals”. During breakfast we were saying “pass
me carbohydrate” (we had poha for breakfast).
The conditions at site are harsh – the wind, the sun, the
dust………………..facilities (no running water, we have really walk a long distance
to get water)….………yet kids have managed to settle with full energy.
Here are some pics of our energy
thrilled to see the work. hats off to the whole team the way we are finding ways through the strong winds. 2 years from now, none of this will be visible to a stranger but, the team will carry the experience for rest of their life.
