What has been most precious in the past 10 years is in seeing the children in Thamarai pass through third level education and now becoming the adult lead facilitators in our own learning centre. Watching them in action tackling the problems in their communities, questioning the structures and normatives that create or keep these problems in place and developing value based micro projects and awareness campaigns to make a difference is a precious result. Thamarai is the Tamil word for Lotus flower we want all to flower to their full potential.
