Alpha 1 survived the trial by children at Hosekerasunda and have returned to Fieldbase. We had an amazing time integrating with the community and constructing the toilets. We finished them in record time and painted a mural on the side of the tool shed with a world map. The community welcomed us with open arms into their homes and lives, even despite the obvious language barrier, we were still able to have a massive game of kabbadi and insult the masons – all in good jest! There were even marriage proposals!
The phase was spent in a mixture of working on site to help the masons, painting the mural, relaxing by the reservoir and entertaining the children, who are there from the second you wake up until you go to sleep. The phase finished with a big Closing Ceremony where all the toilets were opened and the village and alpha 1 showed their thanks. On leaving there were many tears and Raleigh has left a mark on a small area of Karnataka and we have taken away an experience that will last a life time.

ReplyDeleteHey - a Phase Report (and not before time)! Haven't seen my blog comment published - yes you can dump stuff, especially the rucksack and boots. Suggest you back up photos before travelling. I think you are referring to the Finance Form you signed before you left in order to meet 25th April deadline! Couldn't hear where you were going instead of Goa..
Love Dad
