We travelled today thro a different mandal- Jadamari west of Chittoor. We saw a bit different side of village development. We saw strive between High caste and low caste. Glory talked to the villagers about the difficulty getting water when it was not available in their village. Woman had many sad stories of being yelled at, rock thrown and in places it was not wise for young girls to travel to get water. SUCHI team was with us all day and they area dedicated knowledgeable.
WEhad lunch at their training centre near Ramgampet. One of the SUCHI staff member's Father passed away earlier Sunday morning and we attended a Hindu wake with the SUCHI team. We just arrived back from a wonderful dinner at a local restaurant here in Vellore.
We will spend tomorrow in the SUCHI office getting the info we need to fulfill our report committment to CIDA. Iam unable to download videos so we'll continue this blog when we return home. All in all we saw a lot of wells and villages and we both feel this trip has been a success. led

Hi Ron and Toos,
Happy belated birthday bro!!
Sounds like you are seeing wonderful progress made in the areas you have visited. Must be so heartlifting to see your hard work paying off. We had a great cruise but nice to get back to our Florida home. Soon be back in Canada.
Love Cathy
