Yesterday

On the go but here are a few of the pics from yesterday...the first is another one of the campus...the last few of our dinner at this traditional Rajasthani resort that Dr. Goyal (joined by his wife and son) took us to (Hema and Sudarshan were supposedly headed back to Delhi or so we thought at least when in fact they surprised us by showing up w/their family)...had a blast!!! Camel-ride...elephant ride...the whole package :):):)

ASIDE: Dinner was wonderful and we had a great time but I couldn't help but wonder abt all the kids working there. All throughout the day we learn abt child labor and exploitation and what not and yet here at the dinner resort so many of the children were performing etc. It felt hypocritical in a sense...to be public health advocates to visit site after site learning about child labor etc and then to participate in the very same thing. Apparently it was very casual for Dr. Goyal and Hema/Sudarshan etc but it just didn't feel right at some level.
