Independence Day celebration at Wonder Grass, Peth


The artisan group, along with the other members of Wonder Grass came together to celebrate the independence day on 15th August, 2009. The mood at the center was upbeat, everyone joined hands in cleaning and face-lifting of the place on 14th August.

The team of artisans was happy to have with them by Dr. Harish and Gangothri who recently joined Wonder Grass to look after marketing and design functions, respectively. Both Dr. Harish and Gangothri participated in the whole program and made it an enriching experience for all.

The flag hoisting was carried out under the auspices of Shri. Motiramaji, a master-potter who stays and works in village Peth. Motiram ji has been a guiding force for our center at Peth. Under his watchful eyes and affectionate care, the unit at Peth is being nurtured to evolve into a team with values.



The flag hoisting function was followed by a session of ‘Bhajan’ recitals by some of the artisans themselves. Bhajans by Tukdoji maharaj and a poem ‘Itni Shakti Hame Dena Data’ helped permeate the atmosphere with a very serene note.

The Volleyball match was organized between team from youths of the village and Wonder Grass team. Wonder Grass team lost out to the youth group from the village who was better in terms of sports-skills, but Wonder Grass team gave a good fight because of a good tea spirit.

The winning team walked away with the prize of T-Shirts from Wonder Grass.
