Ongole

We arrived in Ongole at 3am on the 9th. Brooke brought us to our soon to be home for quite a while. Through a series of fortuitous events we are renting a spacious apartment with marble floors. Brooke had been able to furnish the apartment with a few fans and cots to sleep on. We got out our mosquito nets and went to sleep. Tomorrow would be our first real day at the Society for the Development of Rural Women and Children (SDRWC) working on the project!

We got up at 10 and headed to the office. Joseph directs the SDRWC and greeted us. We also were introduced to Bindu who helps Joseph at the office. We got to work and started catching up on the backlog of EWB mail. There were many tasks to work on including creating a project timeline to catalog the start of the project to where we were currently. Jenneli and Brooke took about to find placements for wash stations and surveying the wells in the area of the village. We also had some materials to find for the construction to begin.
