Travel diary 2013

Encountering the hills tribal people.

Jamnamathure school’s fanfare welcome the caravaners and take them to the playground. The headmaster, inspired by Gandhi’s principles, is in charge of 2400 students. He does his best to reach the same litterate rate than in the other parts of India.

The students are sitting in silence around the piano listening to Marc’s speech. Then they sing bhajan (traditional opening prayer).  After the piano, tuba, violin, drums concert, a happy farandole gathers everybody.

This sharing moment was specially friendly and emotional. In order to thank the caravaners, the school offered them a refined and delicious meal.
