Want to get me a bday present? Urine luck!

Okay sorry, one more!

Okay so I don´t know how to post more than one pic at a time, so here is another!

Hey everybody! I hope your summers are going well! I just wanted to send an email update to everyone involved in the project. I received a lovely email this morning from Meera in India. Here´s part of what she said, with some pictures attached. I hope you guys aren´t getting sick of the udpates! Here it is:

Our women of CPI colony celebrated the real independence day, freedom from teasing, freedom from walking long distances- loosing their privacy, freedom from fear of insects bites, the twelve families - over 60 members now have access to toilets at their door step.

They have expressed their sincere thanks to all the donors who have understood their pain and came forward to give them a safe and better life.

1. Roja is a widow, suffering from partial paralitic attack, she cannot use her right hand, right leg and lost speach. she has three grown up girl children, each day she went through the agony, when her daughters walked miles, praying that they should come back home safely...Her brother helped her in construction of toilet, she has contributed and constructed toilets with shower space. today we found the tears rolling in her eyes - and she says" Every day I used to cry silently, today I am crying because I am very happy." Each family has similar stories.

Let me once again thank you for your wonderful gesture - Today we have your birthday gift with us. - India 68th freedom. - CPI women and their families have celebrated real freedom on India's Independence day.

Regards
MEERA KHADER

I hope you have a lovely rest of the summer! Thanks again for being a part of this. It really means so much to me and to the families in India.

Until next time!

pictures (different stages of construction), I will send you all the photos once it is completed."

Thanks again for all of your help and involvement in this little project!
