It's post monsoon, holidays for the biggest festival of the year... and there is a lot of field work to be done before the dry season.
Nevertheless, my unexpected arrival to check the progress of Kitaab (Book) making, proved satisfying for both parties. I was excited to see their creative initiatives, just as excited to see the quality kept high, and even more excited to see their enthusiasm to start work again after farming work subsides.
I cannot be anything but proud of Nangi village, and learn from their commoradory, independance, and exclusion from some cultural barriers. I am dedicated to the continual support and excited to try a similar model with another village.
I feel as though working with women tends to domino the community projects, with understanding of such priorities as education, sanitation, agriculture and health.
... I could be nothing but comfortable.
