The summer rain has arrived early in Mettupalayam. Perfect timing as the 8 acres of organic rice and some ragi have been harvested, giving Venkat and his farm workers time now to start ploughing ready for the next crops.Farming in this very dry area is always dependant on the two monsoon seasons, filling up the wells and boosting ground water levels. Over the years, Venkat has put in such a lot of time and effort, building our water retention lagoon and deepening and extending our farm wells. ... See MoreSee Less

Coming towards the end of the school year, and the 5th standard school leavers from our Crakehall School, Mettupalayam are joined by some of the Irula tribal children from Kavakarai colony in a trip to the seaside.Mamallapuram is famous for its sea temples and Shiva's butterball, a huge round boulder perched precariously on a steep slope. Thank you to Venkat for arranging this outing and I'm sure all the children had a truly memorable day out. ... See MoreSee Less

Poverty relief and social development is such an important part of Venkats work. Having been supporting the Irula tribal community at the Kavakarai settlement during the pandemic, Venkat has recently been initiating the issuing of identity cards. So far, 25 applications have been made and 11 have now been issued. This will give entitlements to Govt support including food rations, widows pensions and old age pensions. It is hard to believe that previously these folk didn't exist in any official register. Support for the children's education and extra tuition during evening classes will also have a significant benefit in the long term. Funding from Friends in the UK facilitates Venkats success, thank you so much. ... See MoreSee Less
