Checking the heart
Today we ventured to the farthest crèche we work out. As we move more and more out of town, the real villages of Kodaikanal are exposed. The families that live here are mostly farmers that get paid on a day-to-day basis and financially suffer if any amount of work is missed. For this reason, the families do not have any time to take their kid’s to the hospital or a clinic when their child I sick, and especially not for routine check-ups. The crèches are so useful because they provide all that a child needs to grow up well: nutrition, education, and health care. If these things are all the kids have, they will be just fine. The importance of the crèches continues to impress me, and the main goal is to look into how these can be implemented effectively in similar areas around the world. Good evening from Kodaikanal.
