Greetings!
The workshop had around 18 participants and 8 volunteers.
We had Venkatesh Hariharan give the opening talk followed by an immersive
hands-on session on kturtle by Richa Mishra. The afternoon session on
games by Rajeev R.K. was the icing on the cake.
Thanks to the school management who sponsored the entire workshop.

Greetings on the occasion of World Toilet Day!
You might be wondering as to what the relationship between the two is :)
http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/world-toilet-day-2014-lack-sanitation-leaves-women…
While there is no direct correlation, I would suggest that people who are
interested can use this occasion to use OpenStreetMap and map out the
location of toilets in your vicinity. Also map out whether there are
toilets for women and how hygienic they are. While it is good to go on the
streets with brooms and clean the place it is more important to provide a
sewage system where none exists and improve the ones which do exist. So
please help out with a small part.
Thanks
