Slowly a plan is forming...

We are still in Pondi and in the last few days we have made a few more plans.
On friday, after our short stint in the movie business, we headed to Sadhana forest after a friend told us about it.
Sadhana forest is a small community of volunteers (affiliated to Auroville but a short distance form the main center) involved in a reforestation project in an area which was (until the project began 7 years ago) largely desert. Today there is a thriving little community of traditional style huts (photos will come...) clustered around gardens, alternative kitchens, composting toilets and other sustainable projects.
We went to see this cool place on their eco -film night and were given a tour of the place and a yummy vegan dinner before watching the film "HOME" (very fitting for earth day).
We've decided now to sign up as volunteers starting tomorrow for two weeks so we can get involved in this cool project. It will be very simple communal living, there will be lots of work to help with and we will be eating purely vegan food. So a bit of a challenge but I'm sure we will enjoy it.

There is no internet cafe but there are plenty of people with laptops (power comes from solar panels and pedal power!) so I'm sure we will get a chance to send updates and photos while we are there...
