Inspired Minds and Shaping Dreams...

Photographer: Somnath Mukherji

Appana, a gifted potter who is part of the AID Orissa family. He found a torn piece of paper and was inspired by a picture on it, similar to the one he is creating in the picture.
He then improvised on it and literally produced this on the fly.

AID-Orissa has full time people, like Appana, who work there. The setup includes 3 small buildings and an office where workshops on tailoring, coir-work, pottery and more. There is also a small school - a 'Shala' that is also operated by AID-Orissa.

AID Orissa is one of the AID chapters in India. AID now has entered into 17th year of its existence. Many if us shared the dreams to bring some positive change to the ignored, deprived and have been under distress. AID once an organization started with one chapter has spawned more than 50 chapters around the world and growing. It has brought direction to many thoughts and reality to many dreams of helping those in in need.
