More additions to Pada Yatra team; minor accident (scratch to car) in Bheemavaram; no injuries

Pada Yatras are going on in full swing in Hyderabad. Two more dynamic people joined the Pada yatra team in Hyderabad. Rishi Milind from VVMVP is doing active Pada Yatas in Vizag. We formed 2-3 teams (different setup each day) with 2-3 internationals plus 10-15 local team members for Hyderabad Pada Yatras. We are reaching out to nearly 3000-5000 people each day (one-on-one). We have tooooo many details to share but not enough time to summarize. We will end Andhra Pradesh Pada Yatras by around 22nd. After that, we can share summarized information with you. A LOT of people are involved and a LOT of coordination, planning and effort goes into this.


While the Pada Yatras are going on, I left Hyderabad on 14th to Vijayawada by midnight bus (it was a challenge because of Auto strike). Then arrived in Tanuku on 15th to meet with some youth and village committee members (we formed village groups last year in Tanuku area).

15th: Drove to Bheemavaram but met with a minor accident with a bus. Our car was pushed to the corner by a bus and the door got jammed. It was in a traffic jam (low low speed), no injuries. So, we had to cancel the youth meeting in Gollalakoderu village. You can imagine the chaos after such incidents in India.

Returned to Tanuku by midnight by another car.

16th, Tanuku: Conference calls with our team members in Mortha, Racherla, Tadepalligudem, Yerrampeta.

Night 2:30am: Heading to Srikakulam.

International Team: Will be in Hyderabad until 19th.
