Swecha means Freedom and Sammelanam means a celebration. It is a celebration of freedom.

Hallo dear Rituu;
kindly receive my warm greetings!
I hope you are doing fine.
I just posted that our SALT visit to Beho Red Cross Center for assylum seekers on Saturday 15th October 2011 was so rich and constructive ; considering the expectations; as former residents of the center(actually members of Belcompetence) it was a pleasure to go back home
see again that house which shelterd us for at least 12 months
meet people on place
  share  experiences ;before and after center life
it was wonderful to see how people on place welcomed us warmfully ,together we shared meal and drinks then went to seat under the tree for discussion.
For us ; the point was ; finding local responses to our own issues; interesting!
How SALT vision can help us while waiting the procedure for asssylum seekers: the sharing was really rich and promising; the residents contributed much as at first they find themselves answering the questions that they asked us: That was really finding solutions to our own issues; then plan to act...

Fabien
