The Story of Kaveri (and Every River Everywhere)
|
| Wonder how a river came to flow? Wonder what keeps her going? This story, from the perspective of the river Kaveri in India, is a story of rivers everywhere. Where forests grow, rivers flow. When forests die, rivers go dry. The only way to revive rivers is to bring back the forests that we have lost, and protect the forests that we have left. Forests store and release water more effectively and efficiently than any manmade dam or canal. And every tree helps grow a forest. Let there be forests. Let there be water. |

A World Where All the Gazi’s Go to School
Gazi Jalaluddin has a clear vision: a world where no “Gazi” has to stop going to school. Poverty forced him to quit school as a child. He ultimately became a taxi driver in Kolcalata. By asking passengers to donate books, old clothes or medicine, he has helped many children return to their studies. By 2012, Gazi had also created two schools for 425 students and built an orphanage. Gazi’s belief in the dignity of work pushed him to teach the young men of his village to drive taxis under the condition they donate a fraction of their earnings and teach two more needy boys. There are now 300 boys from the Sundarbans driving taxis and earning a living in Kolkata. Gazi admits that sometimes he struggles, but he is quick to express his gratitude to the passengers who have helped him achieve his dream. { read more }
