Clean those ears!

A couple of weeks ago, the wonderful people from audiologyindia (www.audiologyindia.com) and AIISH (All India Speech and Hearing) came to KM to give all of the kids ear checkups.

Jyothi: Oh my god, THAT was in my ear?

The checkups included a hearing test, an exam by an ear-nose-throat physician, and a speech test.

Thanks so much to Jayaprakash at audiologyindia and our dear friend Manjunath for doing such a nice job organizing everything.

Now, they are nice and healthy, and well-behaved, at KM:
