Post cyclone work at Shanti Nivas

Senior boys from the Rainbow Home volunteered to help the employed labour and our gardener/watchman to make the campus shipshape. 

Instead of having to buy the bottled gas at blackmarket prices, as over the last two years, Shanti Nivas will have enough wood for cooking with, on the new fireplace that we had made earlier this year.
The piles have been raised up from the ground.
All the wood is cut with axes and choppers.it makes thetrees look a bit rough and i worried about getting infections in the wounds. I was not able to find a bow saw anywhere during my shopping trips to Visag or Visianagaram.



The community hall roof looks OK. This is where the children do their homework and where the stage is set for the Christmas nativity play and other entertainment.
Picnic lunch on banana leaves for the boys.
Even the big mango trees were damaged.
Part splitting a log to use as a support for a tree.

 The log support in place and earthed up.



The site is being tidied and the paths resurfaced where they have been eroded by the rain. the entrance looks neat again.Just waiting for the electrisity poles and wires to be fixed. The next job will be the toilet -bathroom block roof, when the corrugated cement sheets are available!

Victor, Danny, Brighter Future trustees, staff and children give their sincere thanks to all the kind people  who have responded to our predicament with timely and generous donations,
