Day 2

We were heading to Shree Junbesi Secondary School. Some people told us it would be and one and half hour and some told us it would be three. We consoled our self saying it probably would take more than 4 hours. Strong ones out of the group reached there in about four hours and for some of it it was a big struggle walking 5 hours uphill. Once we got there, the school management and our partner organization were really co operative. We got to talk to the students about water, health and sanitation. We also talked about different water borne diseases and how to avoid them. The orientation went well and know we knew what to expect in  the other schools that we were going to visit next. We completed our first installation today and it felt so good to see a girl drinking clean water out of the water purifier. On the way back to the hotel we tried to entertain ourself through the rough walk and took lots of pictures and enjoyed each and every scene on the way. All of us knew that it would be a while before we could return to this place and enjoy such a view.
