Update on the FarmAid store

So here's a quick update on our FarmAid store project. Our first FarmAid store is being constructed in Ruthvadi, Jharkhand and is set to open on the first of April 2009. Ruthvadi is a little tribal village about 30 miles from the town of Madhupur and about 270 miles from Kolkata. Ruthvadi is a town that time had left behind a long time ago. Here the tribals live without electricity, running water and many other basic amenities we cannot dream to live without.
However, life here is still beautiful, tranquil and refreshing in ways that money can never buy. And here is where our FarmAid store is being setup, to give the Santals access to some much needed supplies, without disturbing their lives and their beautiful village.
