Jaisalmer Fort/Field Visit






The last three photos are from the Jaisalmer Fort that we visited with Vimla-ji and Vuta Ram the other day after we visited the new baby at the hospital.  Then there is a photo of the fresh vegetables that are sold on carts all over India.  The first photo is of a very special little girl that we met at the last village we visited.  We visited the village to talk about child rights and female feticide.  We first talked to the little kids and at first the only kids that volunteered to sit in front of us and talk were little boys.  I then asked if a little girl wanted to talk to us.  Most were too shy, but this little girl, Yogita, wasn't shy or afraid.  She talked to us and told us that she wants to become a doctor in Jaisalmer someday.  We wished her lots of luck and told her we believe she can do it.  I'll post soon more details about this and other field visits that we have recently gone on.
