Stork Sisters – The Hargila Army
|
|
| When Purnima Devi Barman realized that the Greater Adjutant stork in India was nearing extinction due to years of persecution, she began working to save the birds and their habitats with the help of other concerned women. Today, she works with 10,000 women to protect nests, save chicks, and sponsor educational programs to teach about the benefits of the storks. What started as an effort to save the birds has now created jobs and empowerement for local communites and increased the population of storks from 115 in the 1990s to over 1800 today. This inspiring story began as one woman’s concern for the storks in her village but it has grown into hopeful evidence of the power that comes from many people working together to save the earth. |

Peaceful Flower Garden Becomes a Free ‘You Pick’ Haven
After wildfires and flooding tore through her northern Arizona community, Cindy Wilson faced a choice about the flowers she had planned to sell: hold on to what she’d built, or open her gate. She opened it, inviting displaced neighbors to her backyard garden on Butterfly Lane, “hoping that I could just bring a bit of kindness and maybe a little joy.” What began as a retirement hobby has since grown into weekly “you-pick” events, where strangers wander rows of blooms, fill wicker baskets, and leave with handwrapped bouquets, all free of charge. There is something quietly instructive in the way Wilson’s garden took its true shape not from a plan but from a disaster, as if generosity needed loss to find its direction. Each summer, when the bell rings and the gate swings open, the Garden House on Butterfly Lane becomes a small, sturdy argument that giving that which we could have kept for ourselves multiplies its meaning and deepens our interconnections in perpetuity.
