Today Whispering Waters turns 5! What a journey it's been!
From 3 families to 9.
From 1 caretaker to 3 full time staff.
From rocky compacted over growth to raised beds with healthy soil teeming with life.
Which now yields fruits and vegetables, grains, tubers, pulses and wild edibles also!
The biodiversity growing and diversifying in leaps and bounds.
Where we once longed to see a single butterfly, we now meet newer species visiting and some making it their home.
Insects, snakes, mongooses, different birds..all responding to the environment we have been creating for them..
We are grateful to have come thus far.. and eagerly look ahead..to be able to share our spaces with, to educate and inspire more folks to be mindful stewards of the gifts in nature that we have been bestowed with.
sidnair and Akanksha we look forward to having y'all in the frame soon too!
Anushree Chitnis and "ongkon" thank you for your invaluable inputs in getting us here.
Ata ur Rahman we thank you for making our vision of a community centre see the light of day.
Pandit Waghmare our supervisor who holds fort, day in and day out, we are very grateful for you! Ably supported by Sachin Jadhav and Vasant Waghmare..
We couldn't have come this far without all of you!
