Bata of 'The Barefoot College', Tilonia, India
Dear Starchild Readers, I would like to ask that you help to support a project that works for Global Peace by supporting Community initiatives and bringing together people from around the world. We would like to help Bata to attend the annual Summer Campus for Young Leaders at Tamera in Portugal. I have worked with Tamera and support their work and programs for Global Peace and Healing.
It would be wonderful if we could help to raise the money that Bata needs to be able to attend this years Global Campus in a few weeks time!
Please contribute towards her air fare and support her work and her community! Every little bit helps!
You can read about her work below. This is from the Tamera website:
The Barefoot College and Tamera are long time cooperation partners, members of Tamera have visited the project in India and one of the leaders of the Barefoot College, Vasu, was present at the first conversation about the idea of the Global Campus during the Summer University in Tamera in 2006.
The Barefoot College provides basic services, education and solutions to rural communities in India with the objective of making them self sufficient and sustainable. The main issues are solar energy, water, education, health care, rural handicrafts, people’s action, communication, women’s empowerment and wasteland development. The education in solar technology has extended around the world; women from villages around the world come to the Barefoot College for training.
Bata is of the second generation of the Barefoot College. She grew up in the project, studied outside, and returned to continue the work of her father in the Media Agency. Since 2006 she has served as a professional film maker, has made 24 short films, and has travelled to Africa and other international Barefoot College satellite stations, places where the women trained in solar technology return to implement their new skills.
