We face very bad days !
E d i t o r i a l :
During this time of
the year we usually
face very bad days:
a horrible heat
which makes us
sweating day and
night and shortage
of drinking water
and electricity.
Things will be
going on like this
until the rainy
season comes. Then
rain will bring some
relief to the heat
and we’ll be able to
harvest rainy water
abundantly. There
is still a month or so
before the rainy
season starts…
we’ll try to survive
till then!
In this Newsletter we will tell about: 1. DRINKING WATER 2. NEW ROAD CONSTRUCTION 3. MANGO FRUIT 4. SSC EXAMS RESULTS 5. NEW KITCHEN AND DINING ROOM

1. DRINKING WATER: During this time of the year drinking water is a great
problem not only for us but for everybody. We usually harvest rain water in big tanks during the rainy season but at this time of the year the tanks are empty.
Now we haven’t any drinking water. So at least twice a week our girls have to go
and collect drinking water from a nearby pond kept clean for this purpose. Then we keep this water in special filters and that water gets somehow purified and
drinkable.

2. NEW ROAD CONSTRUCTION: In front of the Mission the construction of
a new road is going on. Work started about three months ago. The previous road was narrow: the new one is going to be quite wide and both people and vehicles
will be able to move very comfortably. Our electric line along this road has also
been fixed. During the rainy season we have in mind to plant as many trees as possible on
both sides of the new road.

3. MANGO FRUIT: Mango is a tasteful fruit. There are some mango trees in
the Mission compound. These mango trees were planted by Fr. Luigi Paggi ten years ago. Recently most of the mangoes were plucked down before thieves
could steal them.

4. SSC EXAM RESULTS: SSC (Secondary School Certificate) governmental
examination is held in our country after completing 10 years at school. This year examination had started on the 2nd of February 2016.
About 12 Munda students appeared for this important exam, and exam’s results
came out on the 11th of May 2016.
All the Munda students have passed!
Among them three girls are from Jisur Nam Ashram. They are Sunita, Oporna
and Sulota (from left to right in the picture).
We hope all these students will now become college students and go on studying,
so that they can develop themselves and bring social change among our people.

5. NEW KITCHEN AND DINING ROOM: For sure many people will be
curious about our new kitchen and dining room designed by our beloved friend Doctor Marco. Here you are some details on this matter.
In the new kitchen we have the traditional village cooker made of mud which
uses wood as fuel. But we have also a modern gas cooker which can be used for urgent kitchen chores.

Attached to the kitchen we have a basin with running water which is a real luxury
in this part of the country. Now we will not have to go to the pond any more for washing plates and pots.

The dining room is quite wide, full of light and with wide windows which allow
plenty of air to enter. Along with the dining tables with the nice table clothes brought by Manuela we have enough room for watching TV and for a video
library and a small library where our girls can read and learn how to use
computers. We would have never dreamt of having such a luxurious place. If we can now enjoy ourselves in such a modern and very comfortable place we have
to thank Ms. Denise Giraudo, the Lions, and Dr. Marco Pedeferri. When we’ll
write the history of the tribal Munda people of the Sunderban Forest the names of these persons will be written in golden letters.
