Hello!

Nearly six months ago, when the appeal for building the pottery kiln was made, I did not expect much of a response. Yet today, not only has the kiln been completed, but the primary purpose behind building it has been achieved: despite the heavy rains a few days back, Renu's father managed bake pots successfully!

This Diwali for Renu and his family will be a happy one: there shall be peace of mind in knowing that the retreating monsoon shall not affect their livelihood. For this, I thank all of you. That we could come together and help change lives is something that gives me great happiness, and I hope that all of us continue doing what we can to help those in need :)

Wishing you all a Happy Diwali!

With Many Thanks

Venkataraman

P.S In case someone wants to visit Vepampattu, or wants to have a look at the accounts, do drop me a mail!

Dear Supporters,

Thank you for your love and support.

Work has commenced on the shed, and I thought I would post a couple of pictures as updates :)

There are also plans to look at the long term sustainability of this kiln, and in this regard, I shall be making a visit to Vepampattu this weekend to talk to Renu's father about a possible pottery training centre.

Once again, thanks a lot for your support!

Regards
Venkataraman
