We are making the final edits to our report. Tomorrow we fly to Mumbai then back to the US. What a wonderful trip this has been.
The purpose of this Blog is to share and inform on events and accomplishments with regards to our work in Madhya Pradesh, India. Our team is working on an assessment that will help ITT Watermark and Water for People identify and determine the needs, requirements, resources available, and the overall water and sanitation situation in this region for potential support in the future.

We made an amazing contact over breakfast at the hotel when we met Peyush Dwivedi. Peyush was college chums with all of the MP ministers. He thinks our cause is noble and is embarassed by the lack of government response we have received. He got on the phone to make things happen. He offered to have our story in the newspaper. His uncle owns the paper.
Monday, 10 May 2010Here are some photos of our arrival at Didakhedi. We were offered water and also a delicious concoction that tastes like lemonade. As a gesture of welcoming, a spot was placed on our foreheads. We asked the villagers if westerners had ever visited them before. They told us no. In fact, the elders said that we were the first foreigners they have seen in their entire lives.
We thought you might be interested in seeing what driving in India is like. There's never a boring moment! Still, it all works somehow.
