On October 30th, Klara Brogli, Aurovilian resident of Surya Nivas, left her body in her native country, Switzerland. She was 81. Due to a medical intervention which substantially reduced the quality of her existence, Klara chose to terminate her life for which in Switzerland officially recognised assistance is available.

Dear Auroville Today, This is regarding the issue of the articles in Auroville Today # 364, focusing on the employees of Auroville. While I am grateful for the issue dedicated to our employees, in this article, however, no mention is made of SEWA, who did an employee survey in 2000, along with Auroville’s Social Research Centre and Pondicherry University, and most importantly, the funding agency, the Dutch Stichting de Zaaier.
