These students at the Arunachala Village School are sitting right now, but tomorrow they'll be walking–with a thousand of their friends, in a march around one of India's most sacred sites: Arunachala Mountain in Tamil Nadu.

Many thanks to everyone there in South India, and to Apeetha Arunagiri, on behalf of Iyarkai \[Nature\], a Charity Network
for Mother Earth.
