If need doesn't get you start working, shame will!!

Today I am feeling really ashamed of not only myself but also my country as a whole and I am sure you will too when you get to know that when you type 'sanitation in India' on Google, not a SINGLE positive thing  appears on your screen! 

"Drinking water supply and sanitation in India continue to be inadequate, despite longstanding efforts by the various levels of government and communities at improving coverage.....None of the 35 Indian cities with a population of more than one million distribute water for more than a few hours per day, despite generally sufficient infrastructure....Most Indians depend on on-site sanitation facilities.....The lack of adequate sanitation and safe water has significant negative health impacts including Diarrhea , referred to by travelers as the "Delhi Belly"......"

I mean how shameful can anything get!!!

Sanitation Drive

Today was a wonderful day! We had gone for a sanitation drive in a slum in Vasant Kunj.
We distributed clothes and biscuits, every thing went very smoothly.
We talked to the inhabitants of the slum about the importance of maintaining hygiene.
It was a great experience for all the 16 students that had gone there and all of us learnt alot from these people!
