Dear Friends,
In our last email, we had mentioned the two expenses for which we are trying to raise funds. These are Rs. 8,00,000 for maintenance and Rs. 3,00,000 for a new pipeline (since the existing one is root damaged at many places). Towards this total of Rs.11 lakhs, we have managed to raise a little over Rs. 6.5 lakhs.
We are deeply grateful to those who have contributed towards this amount. We have issued receipts for donations received till 24 Feb. If you didn't get yours, please email the details of your transaction.
A brief note on our projects. The bulk of the maintenance expense goes towards paying the salary of four gardeners who are now trained in removing invasive weeds from the water as well.

Pipeline project: The existing pipeline, an underground one, was laid over 10 years ago by BBMP. Since then, the trees, shrubs and climbers have grown forming a beautiful canopy.

The tree roots have broken the pipe in many places. We plan to lay one above the ground and fit sprinklers. This will save water and our gardeners' time which they can put to good use on other tasks and there are ever so many!
