The Ayudh Pune volunteers had set up stalls for Handicraft and T Shirt Sales during Amma’s Pune visit in March 2016. The Ayudh members made handicraft items mostly from waste material which was an innovative way to produce items from waste thus reusing and reducing the waste. This effort became a good role model for direct recycling. Another stall was set up for the sales of Ayudh T Shirts. The team has done this as fund raiser program. The money raised will be given to orphanages and old age homes.
Haritamritam’, a Green Initiative by Ayudh Pune was inaugurated and blessed by our most beloved Amma by distributing the first NINE saplings to the Ayudh Team leaders during Amma’s Pune visit in March 2016. Amma says “Each family should plant a vegetable garden and should be able to eat vegetables grown organically at least once in a week. Even apartments residents can grow vegetables in window boxes and on terraces.
The core team of AYUDH members have been started visiting flats in a society for conducting awareness campaign for Haritamritam workshop registration. The first campaign is done at Prem Park Society, Pimpri-Chinchwad. This visit aims at getting maximum registration from this society so that the registrants can start making their own garden before the project launch.
Ayudh, or Awaken Youth; Unite for Dharma is the youth wing of Mata Amritanandamayi Math aiming to use the powerful force of young people to perpetuate natural harmony, social justice, and personal empowerment.
