Anandwan ------ A journey from stones to Milestones to Smilestones (Part 2)

Hello friends,

As I promised to take you on tour of Anandwan as much as possible. You all know how this small land cultivated by Mr. Baba Amte into Anandwan. So lets go…….....

Lok Biradari Prakalap

Salute to the vision of Mr. Baba Amte!!  He developed this land for leprosy-affected people and now it becomes a small town that have hospital, school, college, hostel, post office and bank too.  All financial support is from abroad. Our Indian Government not able to provide as much as possible support, in terms of providing doctors, pathologist, vehicles and many more. 

Sandhiniketan Apangachi Karmashala. This place is the workshop for handicapped people. They provide a job too.

 Handmade greeting cards by these handicapped people which are exported.

This is one of my favorites…. Kasthashilp Vibhag ( Carpentary)

All carpentry things made by the Leprosy people. Look at this chair..!!! Even the person who have two hand with 10 fingers cannot made such beauty.

These are the beautiful things which made by this people who were suffering leprosy which is cured now.

Next is Hatmag Vinai….(Handmade Sewing)

Towels, bedsheet, sarri, etc. all things made by this blind people.

Lokbiradari Ashramshala….Hostel for boys.

Shramadan….you might heard about this. It was shown on Sunday 21 May 2017 on news channel, they have completed 50 years of Shramadan. It means all young boys and girls or anyone who want to do work they can join their hands and devoted their time to have some Shrama means work. Do u know these people built 7 manmade lake by doing this kind of Shramdan.  They do not face still any water scarcity. Farms of this Anadwan have enough amount of water throughout the year.

Every morning the young girls and boys have to do their daily Shramdan for Andavan.  This is one of the good habits they are cultivating into the young mind.

Boys supposed to bring some green stick of tree for the domestic animals and have to feed them.

Both boys and girls need to cut the vegetables, which are required to prepare food.

This is the big kitchen and canteen where everyone can get the food, including breakfast, lunch and dinner. All vegetables are from that place only. Nobody needs to go market to buy the foodstuff.
