| Occupation | volunteering at Sambhavna clinic |
| Location | Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh |
| Introduction | We are excited and honored to have this opportunity to contribute to the great work that Sambhavna is doing. We will be living at the clinic and eating meals there. Our current plans have ranged from painting murals with local kids on Sambhavna’s wall to working in the clinics herb garden to simply doing whatever chore the clinic staff needs accomplished. We hope to use our skills with art, childcare, and academic research and writing to do meaningful work; meanwhile we will learn about ayurveda and yoga, the environmental and medical challenges posed by the disaster and how to speak at least conversational Hindi. |
