Sagar: Day 3

Hi everyone,
So it seems we are getting settled in and have actually begun work on our project. We will give you a full update soon. We are still in the planning stages for our pamphlets and board game. Today we met with Dr. Ravindra whose NGO is doing almost EXACTLY what we plan on doing in schools. He is going to be a perfect partner and is excited we are willing to help. He gave us advice on how to get the city's approval and apparently, being American, we have a good chance at getting it quickly. Tomorrow we are meeting with a representative of Vaatsalya Hospitals (www.vaatsalya.com). Those of you interested in healthcare should check out their website as it is an innovative company that brings health care to the undeserved in a unique way.
Last night we went out to explore the city and it was quite an adventure. Jeff found a basketball...he's been dying to find one since there are basketball courts. Randomly enough the only basketball here was a 'Michigan Wolverines" ball....the only one. We'll also update you on our trip around town later today. Take care and keep reading and providing your comments. We hope that while we are designing our pamphlets we can get input from our readers and make it more a community based effort! Stay tuned

This is fascinating. It makes my little trip to China seem so mundane. Keep posting. Stay well.
