Our 5am start definitely paid off after 3
days of training at CIDOR with Mykaps. We left the compound for a day off,
drove through Madena Tiger Reserve and saw a combination of wild elephants,
deer, warthog and peacocks.
We then made our way to the elephant
sanctuary where we were amazed by the spectacular sight of the elephants used
for the festivals and parades in Mysore. Some of us got the privilege of
feeding them as well.
Happy with our many achievements we made
our way back to our projects site stopping at Bilikere to get supplies for the
evening.
We decided on fajitas for tea so we bought the vegetables and then we had to
select our live chicken and have it killed. We did this and then took our 2.5kg
of chicken back to Mydanahalli. We prepared the chicken and vegetables which
resulted in the best Indian meal so far - a slightly spiced chicken, peppers,
onions and tomatoes served with a side of fried onions and potatoes filling our
stomachs in preparation for the long day of planning ahead for the health camps
and activities for the next couple of weeks.
