Here’s a report from Mysore, India where about 100 women
of a Self-Help Group living in a slum in the heart of Mysore City, near
Railway Station, through Ahimsa Thanda (Non-violence Team) of Swamy
Vivekananda Institute of Leadership Development in association in a slum
in the heart of the city of Mysore, India.

“The event was well received and they interacted and said that they did not
know that mother earth was undergoing so much of discomforts perpetrated by
mankind. Most of them are illiterate but are intelligent enough to
understand the simple words that explain the problems.”
