Jai Gurudev !!
Recent involvement in a River rejuvenation project in villages near Bangalore is keeping my spirit high and giving a more gratifying feeling within me !!
Volunteers involved in constructing recharge pits as part of Kuudvathi river rejuvenation project at Yentaganehalli village near Bangalore |
Inspired by Guruji , Art of Living volunteers are invloved in a River called Kumudvathi river rejuvenation project . The river which is dried at present totally is the focal point. The Bore water is not available even at 1200 ft underground in those villages near Bangalore around Nelamagala.
Hence ,the volunteers have taken up about 6 villages , where this river was flowing to the brim once, and started constructing recharge pits and soak pits , to increase the water inflow into the ground , thereby replenishing the ground water level in over a period of 2/3 years.
Parallely , the villagers and the kids as well are also given life skills to manage stress and water replenishing awareness programs . The kids are taught pranayama , yoga etc along with Drawing competions, Hair style making competitions etc. It's very nice to see the kids active participation with full enthusiasm and interest .
Love & smiles...
