As you can read we all went on tours of Kusumpur Prahadi on Tues/Weds. I've never been a guest of such a gracious, beautiful and finely dressed group of women! (Apologies 'n all that mine hostesses past). The women's groups in these slums are a sight to behold- strong, charismatic, determined and effective. Our afternoon visit to Ekta Vihar(?spelling) was overwhelming. A large group of women and children met, and promptly completely overwhelmed us, with the energy and enthusiasm of their welcome. Before long we were all part of a singing dancing crowd. Dick, Julie, Nick and Al were very happy to meet old friends.
This picture is a women's group leader- extreme caution advised if messing with her rights.
