Math and Numbers

Hey guys,
So our project is getting along well. We have done some preliminary survey's in an English school and have processed the data. A high percentage of these kids know what gutka is, and they know its bad for you. Most learned about gutka from stores and most learned at the age of 11-12.
Anyways, we have also been looking into using our educational program in rural schools. Apparently 70% of the population in India is rural and while 42% of the total population uses tobacco, that number is much higher in rural areas. Hopefully we can set this up.

Finally, I am trying to embed a video of Jeff's pretty cast. Although the orthopedic surgeon told us he only had one type of fiberglass cast and that it was slightly pink, I was not expecting this. Hopefully the video works.

Also we saw that there is schools for low IQ kids in India. I'm glad to see that people recognize disability as more than something like, "you should study more!" The school's sign was in English and it was called a school for, "SLOW learners...don't laugh at us, laugh with us!"
