Time to give back something
Tuesday, November 16, 2004
Trekking, forts, rock patches....these are the words by which we enthusiasts live and swear. However its now time for us to give something back. Leading the way is the trekking group Girimitra Pratishtan. The group while organizing and leading treks also organizes cleanliness drives on the forts as well as doing their social bit by adopting villages as well providing the basic medical and educational facilities in the base villages which even lack basic facilities. A point worth noting is that they have adopted kurangwadi…. The group has adopted the village by carrying out regular sanitation drives as well as organizing a medical camp.
I think its time we too do our bit for these villagers who often
provide valuable help and info.
From Feb Next year we plan to take a series of "saphsahai treks". We need to garner support for this scheme.
What we are proposing to do is to organise treks to 4 forts, easily accessible from Mumbai as well as Pune. On these treks we will specifially be educating the participants about various aspects of fort restoration & cleanliness.
Recommendations of Forts as well as suggestions are invited!
NOTE:- WE=TEKDI ORGANISATION
