Here are some videos taken around Barefoot College from last weekend.
The man showing us around was in charge of using puppets and puppet shows to bring awareness to the villagers on topics such as health, governmental issues and changes involving the village, and for entertainment of course! Here he gives us a one of a kind show! Oh, and he only spoke Hindi!
We spent an evening talking to a local self-help group of women. Self help groups are usually woman based, where woman collectively attempt to save money and get loans to cover certain expenses. Sometimes they work. This time they really didn't. But the ladies sung us a song after they talked with us. In return my group sung "Row, Row, Row Your Boat (the only song we could thing of that we all knew. Why??)," but I failed to record it. Oops.

Here are some videos taken at the Barefoot College's School, grades primary through high school. In Hindi. And sorry for the vertical and horizontal camera movements...something for me to improve upon...
