The Dignified Poor

My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

My first trip to India lands me in the impoverished state of Bihar. In a hospital near the Nepal-Indian border, a man lays asleep on the relatively cool concrete out of the oppressive heaviness of the Indian summer. This hospital is unique in that it is a modern rural hospital with a significant portion of it's patients being the extremely poor. As such it has became a rally point for the sick and homeless, the hungry and abused, giving them hope and comfort.
