Some good news just received. Ramakka, the expectant mother that we posted about previously has delivered a healthy baby thanks to Mrs Meenakshi and staff at the Sholurmattam health centre. The baby's family is hugely grateful. Thank you to our supporters for helping to make this possible.
Tribal village life with herbal nursery and garden, sewing class and children's lunch. Life is far from normal due to Covid, but as much as it can, village life goes on. ISLAND Trust staff (2nd photo) visit as often as they can to check on welfare and health and monitor progress on Tribal Futures projects. Any extra funds we can raise provides food and vital supplies to those who need it most.
Vegetables growing from seeds given as part of our Tribal Futures project. Yields can be poor due to soil conditions and the weather but every bit of home produced food is important. A cash crop of maize can be seen behind the villagers taking a tea break from tending their home gardens.
