Celebrating Continuance

Celebrating "Vellottam" ..going back to the sea..
After the numbing shock of the tsunami that struck on 26th December, the world spontaneously rushed to the rescue of the devastated and the dispossessed. Maitri, a registered organisation of socially conscious citizens in Pune, who believe in mobilising people's support for people's issues, responded too. They worked with tsunami-affected villages along the coastline of Tamil Nadu, repairing boats and engines, providing fishing nets and medical care. And now, the fishermen are returning to the sea …giving everybody a reason to celebrate.

Join the celebrations on April 14 at S.M. Joshi Foundation Auditorium, Off Shastri Road, Near Ganjve Chowk, (Near Niwara Old age home), Pune - 411 004 at 6:00 p.m. sharp. Audio-visual presentations, interviews with relief volunteers and a photo exhibition have been arranged.
