AVANI (Ar-vanni = "Earth" in Sanskrit) is a village based community development project in the Kumaon Himalayas. Founded and run by two Delhi-ite Osho sannyasins for the past ten years, it focuses on alternative energy generation and textile production. Chinmaya's short documentary shows the community's many facets, and it's wonderful setting at the foot of 25,000 foot Nanda Devi. A remix of a track from one of his 1990's Cd releases provides the soundtrack.
People helping people. Inside her culture, not from outside. Teaching them to fish, not giving them a fish. Preserving the community traditions and values. Admirable.
