October newsletter released
Our newsletter for Oct 2009 is now available online. It features a travelogue written by Zainab Kakal who visited Sunderbans immediately after Cyclone Aila that hit Eastern India on 25th May. It carries an interview with Jeremy Smith, founder of ivili.org on the potential of the website to bring together innovative solutions to sustainable development. Two other articles show case The Blue Yonder attending ITB Asia and WTM London. A short summary of latest recognitions to TBY can also be read here.

It's been a while since we compiled a newsletter. While running around and packing more and more new initiatives to the work, we sometimes forget to write it down for those who are not next to us. We understand that it is not fair to those who have been waiting to read our newsletters! We were quite busy, including organising a wedding for an English couple! We have been to Rajasthan many times to see the improvements in our new initiatives on Travel Philanthropy. ITB has invited us to be their partner to promote Responsible Tourism at the world's leading travel fair in Berlin. We have also started a micro-loan project for stake holders from our community to set up workshops both in Rajasthan and Kerala. James Newton from String Films travelled with us for a week to understand Nila and our inititiaves.
More on this later...
For the time being, please go through the Feb - March edition of our newsletter. Let us know your comments! Greetings!
