I arrived at Rameshwaram in the early hours of Christmas day. I brought 20 Luci lamps with me to test out in the surrounding fishing villages. Since no schools or organizations were meeting that day, our first presentation was given to a small group of women in a widow-support group.
Later that night we presented about Luci to a local catholic school that was having Christmas mass. We donated two of the lamps to the school after the mass.

Following the presentation, one of the widows offered to test out the light for a month in her house. We visited her house/shack near the sea and met her family. They graciously accepted us into their home and served us a meal.
