Roops reports from the
Visamo Earthquake Relief Camp

My next move was - taking out a big chart paper, which I had prepared in advance with colorful writing of `Kidlink' and `Who-Am-I?' program.

India, February 2001

All writing was in crayons so as to attract them. I gave them the paper, and told them to write their names on it, so that we can pin it up at the camp, along with their paintings, etc.

Suddenly all of them jumped on to grab crayons and the chart...oh I was so inexperienced to handle the situation. Anyway, a teacher came to my rescue, and lined up everybody and we finished the thing.

All the while two bright little boys were showing more interest and asked me questions like `how soon they could get response to their mails' etc. I explained the Four questions to all kids -and told them to write replies in any language of their choice. (English/ Gujarati/ Hindi) Since the camp has a schedule of time, I had to leave the papers and the questions (are pinned up on the wall too).

I told those bright boys that `they are `in-charge' of the papers and the writings of the other kids. And whenever in spare time, make sure everyone finishes them up -cuz without the answers, we will not be linked'.

Hope I am doing okay so far... this is the first time I'm handling Kidlink. Apologies if I have goofed up somewhere!
