Tibetan students help with land purchase

Since 2010, the Pavilion of Tibetan Culture in Auroville’s International Zone has been inviting teenage students from the Tibetan Children’s Village school in Dharamshala to come to Auroville for a cultural exchange program during their winter vacation. This year the 9th batch of students from 12 to 15 years old visited Auroville.

During the Marathon Market Fair 2018 at the Visitors Center, the children were given information about the land of Auroville and how crucial it is for Auroville to purchase the remaining land. One of the boys said, “Land is the main thing without which we may not be here today. For Auroville to reach Mother’s vision of a universal town with 50,000 inhabitants, Auroville really needs help to purchase all the needed land.” One of the girls followed by saying “How can we help?” and the students decided to contribute their weekly pocket money and made postcards for the Pavilion for fundraising for the lands.
