Later in the day we visited the The Adalaj Step Well which descends five stories down to a fresh water pool-Indo Islamic architecture made out of interlocking sandstone and built in the 1400's. One of the few tourist places we have visited. But the day was topped off with dinner at Seva Café where dinner is paid for with voluntary contributions, the workers are all volunteers and an attached handicraft store supports local village artisans. The cafe is currently being led by a young couple who came to visit the Sanitation Institute for a couple of days and have stayed for a year, leaving behind high powered careers in Mumbai as an architect and engineer. They said, “----spreadsheets don’t bring happiness, a life of service does." That type of dedication is what brings hope for resolving the dire needs of this country. The picture below is of another volunteer--Love all serve all.
