Is there really a “Ranch” in Ranchi, India?!

Very “close” to “Ranch” farmers 15 kilometers outside Ranchi, India

Over 50 key men and women of leadership gathered last week in Ranchi, India to partake of our “Vision Seminar”, where GHNI imparts TCD principles and aims in establishing TCD in more villages. Most of them were already implementing some type of self-sustainability principles in their spheres of influence. So we in many ways as presenters, had it easier than many times in the past, where we would start with no base.

2 crops annually of tomatoes/cabbage and 1 of rice … amazing!

Initiators and field leaders discussing TCD and other self-sustainability principles

Listening intently … !

Thanks for being such an integral part of GHNI in India, South Asia, and here in Ranchi … as we head in due haste into 2016 … !

New Well & TCD Leadership Training in Jatapara, India

Women are Thankful for Safe Water

“Lilmuni, along with other women, had to go to the river to bring drinking water as they did not have any source of drinking water in their village. Walking 1 km, A couple of times per day for water was one challenge, but the bigger challenge they faced was during rainy season when river was full of water. This kind of situation had forced them to drink unsafe water. This had caused health problems in the past.

“After GHNI has give bore well, the women don’t have to go to river for water. More than that, they get safe drinking water near their home. Lilmuni with other women is very much thankful for GHNI. We have taught all the women about safe drinking water.

Manu and Babujan

Villagers Excited About Transformational Development

“Manu has now formed TCD Committee in the village. All villagers are excited about this new concept of transformation. Though they may not have the full detail about how the future will look like, but their desire for a better life has given us wide opening in their village. Manu will be taking them through committee training this month.

“Manu and Babujan are going through additional training so that they will be able to train the committee members. One of the things that is slowing us down is the teaching material. Right now, most of the materials are available in English. Some have been translated in Hindi. We have to do the translation of all the materials in Santali.”
