Dear Community,

a very short update on the Honesty Desk effort by us all in our Community:

We have done 2 follow-up inventories to date and our efforts together have paid off! :-)

We went from 600.000 loss to 150.000 for the new year inventory and then to 75.000 by end of fiscal year.

Loss is everything from spillage, breaking, expiring veg & fruit, expired products we cannot exchange and theft.

This is a much more acceptable percentage and we sincerely thank you all for your help in dealing with this :-)

after the storm tuesday nite my inverter was blown, my phone was not working, the road from ravena to abri was littered with fallen trees and branches - wednesday morning my neighbor called the solar service and phone service - his inverter and phone also had been blown by the storm - and asked them to please help us - then he went out and started clearing the road - my neighbors in forecomers also worked on the road -through it all the house maintained an aura of harmony thanks in part to the beautiful wind chime from swaram - and by wednesday afternoon the road was clear and the phone rep

This Wednesday there will be the second showing of "Auroville, from Utopia to Reality".It is a Swiss film from 2002. Don't miss it. It is a very beautiful movie. Specially interesting for all those who did not live in Auroville yet at that time.

Thanks for the Bonfire, for the music in the Flores Exhibition and for the fanstastic dinner with so many attendents ! Till the Next year...

Anandi ayun.
