Day 3 began with another discussion with Ilango and the 7 IIT boys. We were delighted that Ilango (the Panchayat Leader) had brought his daughter along to help in translating for us. Katie and Promeeta spent the morning trying to find out what the flowers looked like and then sketched the four house flowers on four columns of the middle school. The rest of the team organized a preliminary round of the Sports Day the team was organizing for tomorrow in which over a hundred children participated. Four members of the team along with four translators went to the school and had the teams select 6 members from each grade. After lunch the books arrived so Tuhin and the IIT boys sorted through all the books and organized them into the various Dewey Decimal System categories. Katie and Promeeta finished painting in the flowers on the wall and the rest of the team organized the kids to participate in “the heats” after they had finished school. The children were extremely excited to run in a test 100 meter dash, even though to our foreign ideals the prospect of sprinting barefoot on hot asphalt was not extremely appealing. Nonetheless, the children cheered on their peers and even the teachers were enthusiastic about the event. The afternoon was concluded by a good portion of Team Kuthembakkem (Tuhin, Venkat, Adhitya, and Amrita) against Team IIT racing against one another. Unfortunately, Team Kuthembakkem was greatly put to shame when we realized one of the runners was Secretary of Sports at IIT and was hence a running MACHINE. Everyone left the village in high spirits but there were tell–tale signs of exhaustion from all members of the team. Katie and Promeeta are delighted to spend yet another night sketching illustrations till 3 o’clock in the morning, but with the additional bonus of coloring in every sketch so that the village artist understands exactly what to paint on the walls of the building. A few other members of the team are organizing the sports day event which is being held tomorrow and the rest are anxious to catalouge the books in the new library. The days have gone by so fast but each has been extremely meaningful to all members of the group. We look foreward to our last few days in the village and anticipate great things in the horizon of our village.
