Recently the director of the Trivani Foundation joined CHOICE Humanitarian on an expedition to Puranokot and excitedly shares her experience.
Can you imagine living in a country where you have to personally build public schools, clinics, and roads? There are many things that the U.S. government offers that other countries don’t have the benefit of giving their people.
Once villagers have been given a vision of what is possible, their determination is unlike anything I’ve seen before. Our expedition teamed up with villagers of Puranokot to help build a health clinic.
We spent a few days digging trenches for the foundation of the clinic. This was hours of back-breaking work with picks and shovels digging rocky earth. I spent an afternoon working side-by-side with 50 and 60 year old mothers and grandmother hauling rocks in baskets that hang from forehead. I've never done anything so physically taxing and yet, I was working right alongside these women who had already spent the entire morning on their daily chores.
It was a very humbling experience for me to witness the courage and strength of the women participate in a project so important to them – a clinic that will offer their children access to health care.
I have a newfound respect for the people I meet in the villages because I realize that with each project CHOICE Humanitarian supports, the villagers work just as hard through manual labor to bring them to fruition.
Kind Regards,
