Fresh veggies at your door step... Finally, Saritha, our Accounts Manager said enough is enough to her accounting job and took off along with Rohit, our volunteer for some real field work. On a wet afternoon, the twosome who takes pride in their Tamil communication accomplished their first evaluation. Bharathi's story is akin to thousands of vegetable vendors who we interact with every day. In most cities, the vegetable vendors go through the same ordeal. They borrow from local money lenders in the morning and pay back a much higher amount at the close of business, leaving them with very little for themselves. The Rang De loan came as a relief to Bharathi as she can bid goodbye to the money lenders!
