Passage Through India: May 2010
http://aliceandedgar.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 24, 2010. Riverbank Filtration and The Energy and Resources Institute. I plan to spend three weeks working with TERI, including one week taking water quality measurements at the field site in Karnataka. I look forward to learning more details of the science and management involved in the project. Some questions I plan to investigate include:. What specific geochemical reactions occur as the river water moves through the soil? Which contaminants is RBF best at removing? Sunday, May 23, 2010.

Passage Through India: On the Front Lines
http://aliceandedgar.blogspot.com/2010/06/on-front-lines.html
Tuesday, June 15, 2010. On the Front Lines. Every morning I rode a bus to the Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) office outside of the city from our guesthouse in Panji. Women’s colorful saris pressed up against me as we all lurched along accompanied by blasting Indian music and passed coconut palms drenched in the tropical sun. TERI’s mission is to develop technology, not to directly provide clean water to large numbers of poor rural people. Despite these frustrations in addition to the missed commun...

Passage Through India: June 2010
http://aliceandedgar.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 21, 2010. Putting the Comprehensive in Comprehensive Healthcare. It makes sense, though, because caesarians and heart transplants are visible and easy to see. They seem to be what brings us good health. In the beginning, the Aroles (the founders) tried that method but they quickly learned that people just kept on coming back with the same problems. So they expanded their views to be a comprehensive health project. So what does comprehensive mean? How does that shape my time here? Eddie actua...

Passage Through India: Istanbul, Not Constantinople
http://aliceandedgar.blogspot.com/2010/07/istanbul-not-constantinople.html
Tuesday, July 20, 2010. Istanbul, Not Constantinople. Alice and İ have fınally departed Indıa and come to Istanbul. İt is incredible! İ feel like İ have landed in heaven! The streets are clean, there isn´t constant honkıng, and there are gorgeous parks everywhere. (One obvıous problem ıs that the keyboard ıs dıfferent. Excuse my ı not i and my mıxed commas and perıods. Do enjoy the ç, ş, ğ, and ü.). Rıght outsıde ıs the space where charıoteers raced a mıllenıa and half ago. In the center lıe a 3....The E...

Passage Through India: Maximum City
http://aliceandedgar.blogspot.com/2010/06/maximum-city.html
Thursday, June 10, 2010. I was hoping to greet you with something more exotic, but unfortunately (or conveniently), "hello" is how they say hello in India. I am starting to understand why everyone who comes here feels the need to describe it and say how amazing it is, even though you've already heard the same thing from everyone else who has visited India. That's because it is SO amazing, and unlike anywhere else. June 13, 2010 at 7:00 PM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). On the Front Lines.

Passage Through India: Goa Portuguesa
http://aliceandedgar.blogspot.com/2010/06/goa-portuguesa.html
Monday, June 14, 2010. After a long two days of relaxation, it was back to work! I spent a week working at and learning from an NGO, The Energy and Resources Institute, and Eddie worked with Sangath, an NGO doing mental health counseling. We will devote another blog post to our experiences at these respective organizations, but at the moment I want to describe the city where we stayed for a week, if only to gloat over the beautiful photos I took there.

Passage Through India: Overbearing heat, oxygen deprivation, and a golden temple: our adventures in India continue
http://aliceandedgar.blogspot.com/2010/07/overbearing-heat-oxygen-deprivation-and.html
Friday, July 16, 2010. Overbearing heat, oxygen deprivation, and a golden temple: our adventures in India continue. We arrived, exhausted, in Leh, a city so remote that the internet functioned intermittently, the atms ran out of money(! Walls (long, low, and wide walls covered with intricately carved rocks citing sacred texts). The idea behind the mani. Overall, it was a magnificent experience, and I am so glad I did it.
