Two weeks in Kootu K Kural has been for me a great time for various reasons.
The main objective of my Planete Urgence mission was to give a 2 weeks computer training Class. The level 1 training is dedicated to Kootu K Kural team members and other young trainees to increase their basics skills using a computer 
- how to start it and stop a computer without been afraid of making a mistake
- how to use Windows operating system to save, order file and folders
- how to write letters, report, notices using MSWord but we also saw a fews things on MS-Excel.
Apart from computer skill transfer, it has been a great opportunity to share very nice times with 8 young dalits who spoke only a few words of English. Trainees but also Kootu K Kural staff were so nice that we had many opportunities (trip to Villanur, lunch time, …) to have funny conversations which I would rather call non verbal exchanges. I learned so many things about Dalit People and life in Tamil Nadu from them !
I also was very lucky to have 2 opportunities to see Kootu K Kural performances :
one in Villanur training center during a festival in Rameseram
Finally, my warmest thanks to Perumal and Lalida for their warm and friendly welcome, they really changed my stay in India to a wonderful and unforgettable personal experience.
