LTV Get-together for the month of June was organised on 14^th and 16^th for Kundapur Region and on 18^th and 19^th for Bangalore Region. It was organised at two different locations. While Kundapur Region organised at Simha Farms, Madodi, Shivmoga district in Karnataka, Bangalore Region organised at Chettikuppam, Pondicherry. Seven volunteers from Kundapur Region and four volunteers from Bangalore Region participated in in the get together.  The LTV team FSL-India facilitated the get-together.

 

The get together primarily focussed on getting to know the progress on the inter-cultural learning and project activities assigned to each volunteer. Project portrait, one-to-one talk with coordinators and skit presentation were the major input during the get together. Indeed this event gave the volunteers opportunity to share their experience, project work, progress made and results achieved. It was also time to find solutions to problems that they encounter in the projects, share the best practices in voluntary services and get motivated for future work.

 

In Pondicherry Mr. Velusamy, a development practitioner was invited to give input to the volunteers on India and the present scenario. He addressed about religion, language, economy, SHG movement in India since 1960, green revolution and SHG movements’ contribution to food production, specification of Below Poverty Line and Above Poverty Line, micro finance institution and so on. The session was very interesting and volunteers liked the input.

 

During one-to one talk with the respective coordinators and volunteers discussed on the challenges they encountered in the projects. Volunteers also had lots of fun games during get together and enjoyed every bit of moment.
