Going South

      Our class has separated into five groups for this week, considered our "workshop" period, and headed into five different cities of India. Some are headed to farms outside of Rajasthan's own Udaipur, some are north to Sikkim, others in Varanasi and Pune, but I have taken up the noble cause of waste management. And for that, we have come to Chennai.

 I know many many lines of this by heart. I'm not totally sure why.



      For a while, it was not totally clear if we were going to learn about solid waste (aka trash) or liquid trash (aka poop), so let me just clear the air - its solid. We are all about reducing, reusing and recycling for the week. Most importantly though, it's about breaking off and doing your own thing in a group of 4 students instead of 22, so my little group has decided to treat this venture down south as our Spring Break trip, as we don't actually get any time allotted for a break in the middle of our program.

Here is a taste of how crazy we plan on getting this week:

Rooftop. Ladder. Our guest house for the week. Not so crazy though.
