                        A recent letter from Samir Bordoloi, from Prakriti-Save Nature - one of our partners in Assam.
                        Hi madam.  How are you.  Hope this message finds you in the best state of your health and mind.

                        Madam, we are continuing our mission here with the children and the farmers. Presently I am working at Dibrugarh where we are organizing training programmes regarding environment-friendly agricultural approaches in Dibrugarh and Tinsukia Districts.

                        In the villages we are holding session where both educated students of the villages and experienced farmers come together and share their views on how to develop their homestead gardens organically. 

                        We also arrange certain group discussions among the farmers and students about different topics like organic farming, harmful effects of chemicals, food security, deteriorating soil conditions, use of natural resources around us and how to use them in agriculture, etc.

                        The group discussions also bring out many indigenous technologies of traditional farming.  Farmers and students who are convinced by our views become our members, and this way we are trying to create CLEAN (Community Led Environment Advocacy Network) among the masses so that like- minded people can make an umbrella to save us from the non-stopping rains of chemicals from the chemical companies.

                        Your help and guidance is much needed.  As always, many new faces are understanding your messages regarding nature through us and are ready to take action in the field.  You are our strength who planted the seeds in our mind and the seeds are taking the shape of a plant. 

                        Now it’s time for you to nurture it and show us the path to save our people and children from the grip of the chemical companies.  Our main mission is to create change of mindset with the changing environment.

                        Madam, I am using your projector and showing “Organic Rice Cultivation” and “Slow Poisoning of India” in different camps. Please believe that the projector is in safe hands and thanks for allowing us to use that.

                        Your next visit you can stay up at a new model organic farm developed by Prakriti-Save Nature and meet lots of like-minded people here.   Kindly update our minds with the new organic techniques to be disseminated to the farmers.
