Last day in Raichur
The report from Raichur!! Today is the last day of working here for us. We had some pieces of bread and chai for breakfast. This is the last breakfast here. Unfortunately everything is ending.

living life with a smile
4 March 2010 Raichur This is my first trip to india. I felt so many differences between Japan and India. First, I was surprised at unique Smell of India. I can’t explain well but it’s so impressive because there is no smell in Japan. Second, I felt a power of religion.

Our unforgettable visit to Raichur
It was a great opportunity for devotees from Davangere to do their little service towards Amma’s housing project going on in Raichur. The weather in Raichur is very hot and there are not many facilities around. It is located 30 kms away from the city. We reached the site by 11.30 am on 27th February.

We wanted to give good food to the workers and volunteers who are toiling day in and day out in that hot sun to build the houses for the flood affected people. We…
