Welcome to the Indian Forum "Mahatma Gandhi" e.V.
 

On Saturday, 9th September 2017 we once again took part in the annual harvest festival in Alt-Marzahn village, Berlin. Many people were there and visited our booth. Beside spinning our wheel of fortune, they also had the opportunity to acquire traditional craftwork from India for a donation, and to try out some Indian food prepared by us.

Our annual meeting this year took place on Wednesday, 31st May 2017. Coincidentally, several groups of different partners in India were in Berlin at the same time. We were able to bring nine of them together with members of the Indian Forum in a joint dinner, and in our meeting afterwards. Thank you to our guests for sparing the time and joining our meeting, and thanks also to the board members who organized the event!

Our calendars for 2017 are now available. For a donation of only 10 Euro (plus shipping fees, if applicable), we offer you A3 wall calendars this time, with new colourful and beautiful motives from India.

Support our work in India with the acquisition of these calendards, which also make fine presents for christmas. Please contact us to order one or several of these calendars; we also offer shipment by post.

Photos of the calendars:  photo 1,  photo 2,  photo 3.

On Sunday, 27th November 2016, the first Sunday of Advent, we will be having a booth at the annual advent market in the Alt-Marzahn village in northeastern Berlin. It is a nice little Christmas market, and we hereby invite everyone to visit us there.
As usual we will offer our delicious self-made Chai and various products from India there. A number of activities, such as a wheel of fortune is also planned.

With many helping hands from the young people in Chaibasa, an old run-down building on the Lutheran schools campus has been turned into a youth club. The Indian Forum supported the project by contributing money for a new roof, which has been finished just in time before the monsoon set in.
