They have agreed to send a team of doctors to accompany us on June 15th to conduct a medical camp at Guddalahalli for the villagers as well as the orphan children of BOSCO. We have also arranged to have a training program on micro-credit and also on the importance of savings. This will be some time next week. We are combining this with another training on water management.
