Roadtrip

March 17
As things were slow here in Ongole I decided to take a roadtrip to see a reverse osmosis water plant in operation in a village near Hyderabad. Before I made it there however, I learned first hand just how valuable having clean drinking water can be to a community like this when I came down with a severe case of dysentery, probably brought on by drinking some untreated water. Luckily I had brought meds from the states to treat it with just in case of such an occurrence, and am completely recovered from it now, but none the less it took me completely out of action for a day or so and you can really see how this could make life miserable for villagers who have to face this challenge every day without the help of modern medicines. Makes you appreciate just how much difference you can make in a village by providing them with a clean drinking water source. Anyway back to the project tomorrow (Hint I think there will be some progress!)
