Summer Water Camp and Tribal Support — the work that returns each year, and the work that goes furthest out.

A చలివేంద్రం is a pot of cool water at the side of a road, under a roof, free to anyone who stops. Telangana has kept them through its summers for as long as anyone remembers. Summer Water Camp is our name for keeping ours filled.

The building is the easy part. The work is the refilling — daily, through the months when the city is hottest and the people who need the stop are on two wheels or on foot.

Tribal Support goes the other way: staples and medicines for families near Wyra, in Khammam, a long way from anybody’s commute.
