I'll let the pictures tell the story....
A day center in the village for the elderly to gather and hear the newspaper read to them, play games and chat togeher - addressing a serious and widespread problem of depression in isolated seniors
The biweekly Thursday morning clinic in the village where primary and secondary care is available through the nurse program. Here two nurses are at work.
Above: the signpost that pays tribute to K.A. Norris who worked hard to establish this work in the villages and rural areas around Vellore.
Below: At far left my guide for the tour Senior Nursing Director and Faculty member Rajeswari Siva pictured here with the staff of the new library in the new College of Nursing building
After all the references in JWD's letters to playing Carrom and my own memories of playing it at Great Aunt Mary's house in Banff, I couldn't resist taking this picture in a sports shop in Kochi.
Our houseboat for the backwater cruise and one of our two very able boatmen
Just one of the many delightful views on the cruise
They call this Chinese fishing on account of the origins of the method
Very colorfully painted homes all over the south of India
My companions for the morning part of the cruise Sanjolie and Namrata, two young accountants from Delhi on a weekend trip to Kochi after a month long work assignment in Chennai
Handing over some control for just a few moments :)
Great fun, but we made much less progress with my efforts !
