Friday, Friday, Friday.

Just another typical week of classes and field visits here. We've been focusing on developing implementation and evaluation plans for our projects (i.e., how do you make it happen and how do you know it worked?).

The GI team also finally did some water testing this week, with samples from a water tank, a water tap, and an in-home storage container.  Unfortunately, our testing kits were expired, so we're not quite sure how reliable the results.  We're hoping to get some new kits this weekend and retest next week. I'll keep you posted! :)

Just a typical Ambalapattu tap... 
In other big news, Mukesh left us this week to return to school.  It's been really, really quiet without him and his sister here.  Tendrall (our house mother) has been extra doting this week, as this is her first experience as an empty nester!
Celebrating Mukesh's last night in Thanjavur by having dinner at Claypot!

Last but not least, we celebrating Ramesh's birthday this week, with a surprise breakfast at his hotel, Temple Towers.  Unfortunately, our plan was foiled when Ramesh discovered our group in the parking lot waiting to surprise him...  Either way, masala dosa and fresh pineapple juice for breakfast made for a great start to the day!
Ramesh, Ravi, Nancy, & Dessa.
