Hi! I'm Steve Smith, who served with Linda Webb (nee Meinders)in Chandragiri/Reddiwaripalli in 1966-68 (India 28).
I would love to correspond via e-mail with anyone from Reddivaripalli or Chandragiri, especially those who have a connection with those years in the villages.
I am retired now, and spend most of my time in volunteer work here in Eugene, Oregon. Have often wondered about doing some HIV education in the area around Tirupati (in Oregon I speak at high schools, middle schools, re-hab centers, colleges {esp. health and nursing classes}regarding HIV education and prevention issues and living with the virus).
