"When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bonds: Your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction, and you find yourself in a new, great, and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive, and you discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be." - Patanjali

International Womens Day

On March 8, was International Womens Day, and CORD celebrated in a big way, with a big function with about 3500 women attending, and then some continuing on for a rally through the streets of Dharamshala.

The pics are below...




(Like women everywhere, for a small period of time, the march took a wrong trun and was lost!)


One of the plays by the Mahila Mandal, showing the effects of sharab (alcohol)...


What a setting!


A Dai Amma (mid-wife) as part of the adult literacy program, showing she has learnt her numbers and can now use a mobile phone.


The colour from the front...


... And from the back.
