India Rome 5 have now been back in the
village for over a week.
So far, they have travelled around the mountains of TN,
saved the chickens from certain death by raising them as their own, and climbed
mount Mavalam and stated the hard work of digging the foundation for the 15
beneficiaries. Construction has finally begun with the building of the first
cow shed, and IR5 are settling in with the village, especially with the Diwali
celebrations which was huge fun for everyone, and the village children calling
the volunteers’ names every five minutes.
Although the weather started rather wet,
the sun has been out for the last few weeks, and everyone is developing a nice
builder’s tan. The stars at night are particularly clear this high up
especially when the electricity is off, and IR5 saw 8 shooting stars on the
last night of Diwali.
Everyone in IR5 have been well and fit for
the entire time so far, and although we are missing home a bit, are much
looking forward to the second half.
