Sadhana Foresters Learn Tamil!

ByYoav

Hello Sadhana Forest World!!!!

Today, the participants in the three year Environmental Leadership course began lessons in Tamil! A wonderful Tamilian woman by the name of Meena gave us a basic introduction to the fascinating Tamil language and will continue to generously provide us with weekly lessons until we become well-versed.

The members of the course are very excited and grateful for this opportunity to learn the local Tamil language!

The aim is that the participants will eventually be able to discuss aspects of Sadhana Forest with Tamilians using their language!

Peace and love for now!
