begin to actually visit the places where give life to the development projects of the JRP which, depending on our motivation and capacity, can collaborate. At 9 am we head into the car to Patna Kendu, a village 10 km from Bhubaneswar. The short trip immediately reveals that India imagined that finding and : houses of dried mud and straw roofs, men crouched quietly beside the road, sudden stalls sate on the sides of the river on the riverbank and women who wash clothes. The village school is now launched the project "Pani 2" loaves means water. This is a project that involves the construction of toilets for boys and girls, the planting of a wasteland in front of the building that will ensure the midday meal for students, the installation of a rainwater collection system with which to provide for all u is the school, as currently there is not just water, and a series of educational programs on the use of resources, the right to water and sustainable development. The interesting thing is that Manu tells me that the construction of the baths, not only reduce diseases and epidemics among students (which are released when the "weight" in excess of some 'where it happens), but also ensure a lower school dropout girls, in particular: when girls begin to grow ashamed to adultery in front of boys, and families are reluctant to leave their daughters in mercy of prying eyes (remember, we are in a state where women must have covered shoulders and legs).
The host school is and
mozionante. All students are waiting diligently sti available on either side of, just out of the car singing songs, surround it with a necklace of flowers and a vegetable preparation drawing at the center of the forehead of each of us the typical ball called "sindura tika. We walk among the pious to ggia of colored petals as if we were gods , we meet the principal and then, in what we might call A ula hall, amid songs and poems we officially presented to the whole school as the Europeans who came to give them the "helping hand". Then I have the honor to inaugurate the project, I make another ball, this time red, the center of the forehead and the center of the garden to run the command ritual bath hands, I dropped the water on the first brick-laid ground, then flowers, incense sticks and finally make me break a coconut on the brick until the juice released from the coconut does not close the ritual blessing. I Appe na launched a development project in India! Co I do not feel this project a little 'me now?
We lay for a myriad of photos, str
in Giamo hands as we inistri m and returning to the car I turned to see the whole school complex. Not so bad with his bus you commemorative the classrooms, students in uniform, taught the discrete, the masonry walls in pastel colors, and then think, "that there is a possible trickle of water throughout this structure? ". Invisibile, impercettibile, non ti accorgi della differenza, non ti accorgi della mancanza a passarci giusto per un oretta…eppure manca.
