Dolls, Toys and More
Sunday, March 31, 2013
Large number of volunteers have worked in the project since its inception. It would have been less interesting for the readers, if we were only to describe project in detail as they would know less about the location, the background and the history of the local toys in the Punjab. The life in the village is definitely interesting from the point of view of literature, but this topic may be discussed separately. An idea can be obtained however by reading the three short stories taken over by me and written by Ulrike Vestring. It would also be inappropriate to discuss and describe at this point the concept of Mud Housing and the Appropriate Technology, both of which can be discussed separately.

Rural culture is an important attraction for urban folks. It is a great learning as well. On Mar 20, 2013, students from University of Punjab visited the Dolls Village and showed a keen interest in rural life. During a daylong visit the students mixed up with the village folks and interacted with them. Here are some of the glimpses from the visit:
