Shit flow diagram

Today was my first day of work! It set the tone for how the rest of the summer is going to go and I feel much better about it now. There is talk of me going to Madurai, maybe even as soon as next week! According to the WASH Institute (WASHi), I’ll get the most out of my trip there.

I met lots of people at my job and they were all very interested in America and had a lot of questions. Particularly, there were several people asking about the recent shooting in Virginia Beach. I hadn't realized that something like a mass shooting, which has begun to appear regularly in the media in the US, affects people of the world so greatly. It's very refreshing to hear the concern of others on why things haven't changed for the better. It's also very difficult to explain to them why things haven't changed, due to the intense division across parties in our country.

I am going to learn so much more about the difference between our two cultures as I see more this summer. I'll keep you updated. Oh yeah, a shit flow diagram is a tool used for understanding how excreta flows through a city. Take a look at the one above!
