Hi!

I am very excited to find your group! My wife, six year old daughter
(born December 2000), and I are running an unschooling sustainable
living community in south India. We are looking for like-minded
people to join us (on a short term or long-term basis).

We moved here in 2003 and designed an eco-friendly way of life
including alternative construction, solar energy, water resource
management, and composting toilets so that we could raise our
daughter in a true unschooling environment.

We call the project Sadhana Forest and the main objective is to
create a natural learning environment while reforesting 70 acres of
severely damaged land in Tamil Nadu, India. We are re-creating the
indigenous forest of our area, the Tropical Dry Evergreen Forest.
This forest type is found only in South India and Sri Lanka and
provides a rare biological richness due to its very high species
abundance but it is now close to extinction as only 0.01% survives.
This is a last moment effort to keep this very rich and beautiful
Forest on earth.

In exchange for volunteering, we provide free facilities such as
accommodation, a small swimming pool, a small collection of books,
daily yoga class, and the use of several bicycles. Examples of
community work include: Tree planting, indigenous plant nursery,
contour bunding, organic gardening, fence building and installing,
compost and soil management with Effective Microorganisms (EM).

Please contact me if your family is interested in joining us for a
vacation or for a longer-term stay, and feel free to share this with
others.

Working for unschooling,
