From Mitra's spring newsletter: The world is changing faster than Mitras anticipated two years ago, when we set out to raise an ‘energy conscience’ amongst young people and their parents, at schools, campuses and community gatherings.
Not everyone is convinced about the imminent threat of devastation due to climate change but they are more aware of the phenomenon and that helps.
Mitras have observed genuine interest amongst the young, to find ways of living a better, sustainable and useful lifestyle.
Mitras spent a large time of last year interacting with individuals and institutions that are working with the lesser privileged amongst the urban poor and in far flung hamlets.
As a result of our interventions we are slowly building a small but diverse community of renewable energy users who demonstrate that it is possible to lead better sustainable and useful lifestyles.
Key to that goal is of course, education. A holistic understanding of the cause and effect of human activities and ways of reducing our negative impact on society and the environment.
Mitras are pleased to share, with you, a new project in our current battery of carbon neutral campus program.
A library in a tribal school for warli children in Dahanu, Maharashtra. We are so proud of it!
Our update on carbon neutral campus program on page 2 clearly shows the increased awareness and demand for change.
Small change, we believe, is a good good starting point.
Interestingly, small change is all what we got for our fund raising efforts this year.
An area of our work that certainly needs to change.
So, Mitras, through this news letter, is inviting you to chip in, give, donate, small change or a big cheque, but please do.
It will help.
