VisionSpring in Action in Ravinuthala Village

Getting to Ongole (the nearest city-town to Ravinuthala) from Chennai was a five hour train ride on the South Railway. The train came equipped with a "western" toilet which to my surprise was designed to flush directly to the train tracks!








On the first day in the field we witnessed the pre-camp marketing campaign (posters, flyer distribution, loudspeakers announcements) where we interviewed customers and the vision entreprenuers that would be selling the reading glasses the following day at the vision "camp".








Also, by luck, we got to celebrate a wedding reception with many of the villages and the lucky bride and groom. The food was VERY tasty and we were welcomed in to enjoy the celebration. This was the 16th day of the 21 day celebration - the day that the marriage was supposed to be consummated.
