I apologize for the lack in posts this past week, but all of us TPSers have been diligently preparing our first of two 25-page (single space, mind you) papers, which was handed in this morning (insert a deep sigh of relief). We also had to develop and give two presentations explaining our intervention plan. I'd like to give a quick shout out to my team members, Stephanie B. and Erin R., for all of their hard work, particularly this week. An especially grateful thank you to Erin R. for knocking our presentations out of the park! (You have incredible public speaking skills, girly!)
Anyway, the only relatively exciting event since the last post was on Monday, when we spent the day at an ICTPH conference held at the nearby Ideal River Resort (check out the pics! pretty posh.). During the first half of the day, we presented our proposed intervention plans to ICTPH staff and SughaVazvhu board members. Although intense, it was great to get some feedback from such experienced members of the organization.
The fourteen of us students spent the rest of the afternoon enjoying the luxuries offered by the rest of the resort, i.e., lounging by the palm-lined pool, enjoying delicious meals by the riverside... You get the idea.
Anyway, after our presentations today (Thursday), nine of us students hopped in a van (which happens to be the same van and driver from our trip to Pondicherry) and trekked a couple of hours to the hill-town of Kodaikanal (google image search results)! Updates (and more pictures) soon!
