Andhra, Orissa, Andhra...Karnataka

The last week or so has been spent moving from one excellent non-profit to the next. Visited CRESHE near Vijayvada and Gram Vikas in Berampur, Orissa....will write in more detail about them later. Now in Hydrabad to visit a Light Up the World Project...and will move on to the supposedly fast life in Banglore tonight, arriving tomorrow morning.

...Images that have stuck: One Didi extremely proud of and smiles about her biogas cooking system...and another 5 hrs away who has become the illiterate but passionate spokewoman for the LED lights in her village. ...In Orissa, came upon an Australian couple who have dedicated the last 3 years to the tribal population there...On the trains, meeting spirit after spirit who were looking after me...and lastly, waking up to the rhythms of the rails and to the dream-like, dawn fog rolling over the bright green rice fields and coconut trees.
