In Memoriaum - Vijayamala Ganapatrao

On Tuesday May 26th, Vijayamala, a long-term volunteer at New Creation's Crèche and Boarding School, passed away due to a heart attack at JIPMER at the age of 51.

Mala came from the Sri Aurobindo Ashram in 2000 and has been living and working in New Creation, co-running the Boarding School with Marie Babu ever since. Always smiling, she was a gentle, kind person who became a beloved member of the New Creation family. Her gift was art, which she shared with countless children as well as at various Auroville events, exhibitions and marathons. She also taught New Creation's children French, Hindi, painting, drawing, stitching and other artistic activities.

Vijayamala's remains were buried at Auroville's burial grounds on the evening of May 26th.
