( 9:37 AM ) shut up christine
i want to say so much.
the tekra flooded because of the monsoons
sections of the slum are submerged in water and projects have shut down for the week so that staff members and volunteers can focus on relief efforts
the speed and efficiency of the relief aid is pretty rad. good model for natural disasters
i'm part of the childcare team, our job is to play games with the kids, cut their nails, comb their hair, bathe them if necessary, and distribute basic medicines
during this time, manav sadhna will also provide food for many of the displaced families
we have to cook for hundreds of people, 3 meals a day
(and the pots we use to cook are ginormous, you could literally fit three people inside one pot)
today i cut mountains of potatoes and onions, my dad would be so proud of me
by the time i leave here i'm going to be a master potato cutter
also my roommate Anchal is giving me cooking lessons so i can be a good indian wife ha :)
i'm really learning to love cooking
preparing food is such a labor of love, and eating makes people so happy
today i looked up from cutting and everyone was crying because of the onions, it was the most beautiful thing :)
anyhow, it has been and will be crazy for the next few days. we have to be extra cautious about our health during this time
also i just want to say that i am surrounded by real life superheroes
and i am completely in awe
