Why are you interested in the Gandhi-King Community?
I have been working in the field of rural development for the past three decades. I have a special interest in Gandhian Economics, Trusteeship, Village Cottage Industries and Sanitation. Of late, I am looking at combining Sanitation and Microfinance in order to dissuade people from open defecation.

    I think the work you are doing for social awareness of the environment through sanitation is a most necessary and laudable work. Please either make a blog of the ways you are imparting the ethics of environmental responsibility, or a manual pamphlet as you are applying in your work.
    Are you making toilets? Or teaching the use of a small hand-shovel? or imparting the principle alone - that open defecation is harmful to social and personal health?
    This is urgently needed instruction in India, along with spitting.
    Please let us know how you are teaching this...We also love Vinoba very much.
    God Bless You,
    Aunty Kamala
