The 2 week Medical special started today with a seminar by Rajendran, our Country Director, and a local doctor who spoke about medicine and medical practices in India.

After a delicious lunch, volunteers went on a tour of a local farm to get a taste of rural India. In the early evening volunteers based in Sivakasi for the first couple of days went to observe at local medical hospitals and clinics while the rest of the volunteers traveled to the Ayurvedic or Leprosy center.

Here are some photos!
