Leper Community

We went to visit the Leper Community again yesterday. Our main purpose was to drop off the remaining garbage bins to the community - one for each family. They will be painted and on them written "kachro mune aapo" or "give me trash". Then each family will have to pay 5 rupees as a token to receive their garbage bin...the purpose of this being to make them see the bin as an investment and actually care for it's purpose and do with it what is intended. Otherwise we just checked up on how things are going - they still have to finish the surveys of the families. We will go back next week to distribute the garbage cans after each family fills out a form with their information for us to keep track of who all has a garbage can and for them to understand its purpose. I think our presence there every few weeks helps make sure they know someone is keeping track of things there and holding them accountable!
