* we mapped out the area that we will work in,
* estimated the number of families that live in our project area (173, or ~850 people)
* took the dimensions of the waterways for possible filters to keep the garbage from "upstream" communities from flowing down into the project area
* looked for enthusiastic and influential community members to help support our project within the community...



Meanwhile, Julie and Jessica went with Dr. Miraj to check out trash bins and get supplies for the community education on how to use the new gagrbage systems. PLUS - we all got T-shirts (they were about $1.25 each and are bright orange - Julie and Jessica had to tear the pockets off the front of each since the pockets had random gods on them and we are planning to print "RF-MIT India Project" on them). Good pictures to come, I'm sure!
