sunday:

plan: take a break. Go to Hampi, then Shamas house. Do some activities with the children of Anegundi who come there.

After talking with shama i realized that the bowls we had made for the sante would be fine, however we need to create some larger ones for parceling larger quantities of food. Here cost wouldn't be too much of an hassle, as she plans to charge a small amount for packaging.

Jenny's shop placed an initial order for 20 of the lamps that i had made, so before i left i would have to create a system for the production of those. Having made two with the women at the tailoring unit i felt it wouldn't be too difficult.

We decided earlier that the belts we would give the trainees to make at Kamalapur. Today i learnt that these were nearly ready.

The pencil cases too had been given to the women at kamalapur. Since they were working with crochet, we thought that we could try a sample completely in crochet. The design too would be made in crochet. However i felt this wasn't very successful, and infect the woman to crocheted the case said the same reason for it not working as i had in mind- it was too bulky and not attractive enough. We felt it was good to stick to using the woven sample or to try another sample with a more spaced out crochet pattern.
