She took out an interest free $400 loan through kiva a few months ago that I contributed $25 to.
on another note, I'm going to Mumbai next weekend! Shachi's aunt is a yoga teacher at this school for, um, mentally challenged kids. These kids do handicraft stuff to earn some income, which they get part of and part goes to support the school. So Shachi's been thinking about how to help out. We're working on a website that they can use for publicity and Shachi is also putting together a brochure they can give to potential funders, because they don't have anything like that. Shachi and Ashika are going thursday to take pictures of the school, and I'm meeting them on saturday, because the ticket is half as much if I go then.
We're using this website creator called weebly.com, because A.) it's really to use, so we can create it and they can edit it later without having any technical know-how. I guess that's the only reason we're using it, really. But it will be fun to see Mumbai and to have a weekend away from the school. My roommate Jeremy and one of the girls from Maryland named Jessica are also going. Jeremy's hoping to find a sushi place but I don't know if I would trust sushi from Mumbai. A burrito would be nice, though.
The internship is coming along well. There's only three weeks left! We've started working on our final reports for 2 of the 3 programs we're working on. Tomorrow we're hoping to finish up the monitoring stuff for that cow/goat/quail project. In the next few days we're also going to go to as many houses of people who are enrolled in the "universal" health insurance plan but haven't used it to try to find out why.
