In the middle of the monsoon, a fine morning is very unusual. For the rains to hold off for almost a whole day, just about unheard of. But last week on the 28th, a group of very important visitors came to Malavali to visit the children at Shikshan Gram. And the rain...Biodynamic Gardening

The new Shikshan Gram home is going up in leaps and bounds. Here is a short video of the concrete mixing and pouring.. no big trucks here to make the concrete, back in and pour it out.. it is all done by hand.. but the work progresses very quickly with the enthusiasm...Help our Children have Healthy and Happy Lives
Update February 2023
Dear Sir /Mam,
I am Yogita Moon – from Shikshangram Shelter for Children. It is my life work to care for children who are in need. But I cannot do it alone! Your assistance is invaluable to us especially in these times of rising costs. Our need of the moment is support for our power bills. Can you help with a little or more? thank you.
