we are ready!!

The rooms are ready for everyone to arrive tomorrow.

Once everyone has settled down in their new home for the next 3 weeks we will start with an early morning (6 am) puja on sunday followed by a continuation at 6 pm. Not much time left to nurture your jetlag!! Dr. Vijith has done immense preparations for this project! 5000 leaflets got printed to be handed out to the public in Vaikom as well as nearby hospitals. From the filled in and returned leaflets 100 patients will be given free treatment over a 2 week time frame. Dr. Vijith has decided to choose skin diseases since there can be a positive result visible during our stay here. Which must boost everyones confidence, I guess! In the first week we will learn about herbs for skin diseases and get practical by preparing them into remedies for the patients. The week after we will work at a medical camp in the city of Vaikom. So real hands on consultations and handing out the appropriate medicine. In the last week we come back to the clinic and continue with inpatient treatments. This will be 3 very busy weeks filled with work, fun and excitement. Unlike in many other places the weekends will be free for exploring the nearby beauty of backwaters, hills and citylife of Fort Cochin. More to follow. Bye for now!
