In memoriam - Sakthivel

On June 14 Sakthivel passed away at AUM Hospital. He was just 41 years old. Hailing from Kottakarai, Sakthivel came to work in Auroville in 1996 and officially joined in 2003. Having first worked at Solar Service, he soon started working as technician at the Solar Kitchen, taking care of the building’s machinery. His pleasant nature and willingness to help out, even though every other day he had to undergo a kidney dialysis treatment, made him a much appreciated and loved member of the Solar Kitchen team. Sakthivel’s body was buried in Auroville’s burial ground at Adventure.
