Letter of September 8, 2013
from Nilima Munda to Mr. Adriano Dal Col
Dear Mr. Adriano,
greetings from the Sunderban Forest.
I am Nilima Munda, Directress of SAMMSS
(Sunderban Adibashi Munda Mohila
Somobay Somiti).
A few weeks ago I sent a small project
proposal to your organization.
And the managing committee of your
organization agreed to support it.
The project was supposed to start last
month of August.
Herewith I send you a few short reports
about what we have been doing so far.
Thanking for your kind support we send
you and your colleagues our best regards.
Sincerely yours
Nilima Munda
The "short reports" mentioned in the letter above are collected hereinafter.
AFFORESTATION PROJECT
by Nilima Munda
I am Nilima Munda. I have taken responsibility for the afforestation project under our
SAMMSS. First I went to meet the local Chairman to take permission to implement this
project. When the local Chairman accepted my proposal and gave me permission for this
afforestation project I bought trees. I bought about 1200 trees. Then all trees were planted in
two villages: Dhumghat and Srifalkati. The trees were planted by labourers. It took them a
week to finish planting those trees. Most of the trees are alive and growing. In those two
villages there are now two persons who look after those trees. We give them some money for
their work. And sometimes I go to see how those trees are growing. We spent about twentyfive
thousands taka (250 Euros) for buying those trees, carrying them to the villages and for
paying the labourers who planted them and look after them.
A few pictures of this afforestation project are attached herewith.
DRINKING WATER
by Shaionti Munda
My name is Shaionti Munda. I live at Jisu Nam Ashrom and I study here. I have taken the
responsibility to collect rain water. When it rains I collect rain water in a big tank and then
pour it in bottles and in containers. There are six tanks and a good number of containers at
Jisu Nam Ashram.. We collect rain water because we drink it all the year round. Water
around this place is very salty and we cannot drink it. The rain water I collect is used only for
drinking. For cooking and washing we use pond water.
Below you can see the big containers in which we keep the good sweet rain water.
OUR CHICKEN FARM
by Urmila Munda and Shopna Munda
Our names are Urmila Munda and Shopna Munda. We are students. Urmilla is 16 years old
and Shopna is 17 years old. We have a chicken farm. We have 25 chickens in our farm. We
look after them. They lay eggs. Every day we get about 17 eggs. We sell those eggs and get
money. We buy chicken’s food with that money. We took a loan of 8000 Taka (around 80
Euro) from SAMMSS for buying chicken’s food. We shall pay back that money within five
months. And we will give our small co-operative 400 Taka as service charge. After repaying
back that loan we shall ask for another loan and we will increase the number of our
chickens.
Let’s see if our small enterprise is going to be successful!
