First things first, I’d like to thank everyone who turned up to MGR Nagar on Friday. Along with the female focus group discussion, I was back out there with a few of you to do a little more survey work. We got around 20 more results, and I’ve just finished typing them into an excel document and sent them to someone who (hopefully) knows what to do with them.

All told, we’ve got around 85 results and this probably represents a minimum of 70% of the slum. While I know the intention was to survey every member of the slum, I, personally, feel like that would not be particularly helpful. Between the surveys, the focus group and what we’ve seen, we have some idea of what we can do to help these guys.

I’d like to repeat my thanks to the surveyors in particular. I realize that it’s not a very glamorous side of what Sangam India is about, but it is necessary and very helpful. I hope you guys come out next time we’re doing something in MGR Nagar.

I’ll let you know when I know something about the survey results. Thanks again!
