Dramatis Personae

I thought that it might be helpful in decoding the prior entry if you had a list of some of the major players here:

• Dr. PS Reddy: Cardiologist from Pittsburgh, runs the SHARE NGO in the rural area around Hyderabad. This whole thing is sort of his fault, since he's the one who arranged the trip for me.
  
  
• Agarwals: Broadly, a clan of Indians hailing from an ancient city called Agara (distinct from current-day Agra, I think). In my case, a particular family of wealthy brothers descended from a single entrepreneur, all of whom fund various charitable projects.
  
  
• Bhoruka Charitable Trust (BCT): The primary vehicle through which the Agarwals do most of their philanthropy, which is heavily biased towards trying to help a single village of particular importance.
  
  
• Dr. Ashok Agarwal: On behalf of the Agarwal family, runs the Bhoruka Charitable Trust and the Indian Institute of Health Management Research. Sort of my "boss", since everything I'm provided comes out of his money.
  
  
• Amitava Banerjee: The guy Dr. Ashok employs to take care of anything related to BCT. Amitava himself has the usual staff of various functionaries, drivers, and other "The doctor sahib's problem is now your problem, go fix it" sort of people.
  
  
• Bhorugram: The village where the original ancestor, PD Agarwal, was born and grew up. (Originally called "Nangal Badi", but renamed in honor of Bhoru Ram, PD's father.) Isolated in the middle of nowhere, poor water supply, and mostly subsistence-level agriculture. Thanks to BCT, it now has a school, an adequate (if narrow) road, and a small "hospital" (mostly a birthing centre).
