HI Meg and Amrita
There is a monsoon period from September to December in south India,
when most rain falls. It would be nice if it is running late this year
- buckets of fresh water would be wonderful for refreshing soils.
It may benefit salt affected soils in Sri Lanka, may reach Tamil
Nadu....
best wishes

p.s. Particular communities can seek support and advice at Nabuur
-- see 'connect your village' at the top left on this page :

I have just been circulating this notice locally, someone in this group
may be interested:

If you have a little time to look at the internet,
you will find at www.nabuur.com a new concept in people-to-people
global citizenship.
Nabuur is linking people in third world communities with ‘virtual
villages’ on the internet.
The locals say what they need, the virtual village helps them to find
their future.
Nabuur have asked us to help find a facilitator for a new internet
‘village’ in Sri Lanka—someone to guide discussion.
This community, indirectly affected by tsunami, wants advice on these
matters:
[1] post-trauma recovery
[2] child health and nutrition
[3] new employment opportunities.
This is quite a large community with enormous history – producing
vanilla, lemon grass, organic vegetables, dairy, flowers and
aquaculture - but desperately poor.
If you are interested in involvement in any way, contact Dennis Argall
