Donations for a new scooter for social welfare activities - Bundelkhand, India!

<p>About 7 years ago, a truly fantastic adventure was starting for me, a long long journey, which took me to a country I have always loved, Mother India !!</p> <p>India won my heart, pushed me to my limits, and also awakened in me the desire for deeper engagement.<br /> I became dedicated to selflessly serving the lowest strata of society.</p> <p>My reward and my salary came in the form of smiles, conversations, endless gratitude, bursts of laughter and many realizations which kept me passionate and alive.</p> <p><img alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/609815/DSC09868b-1565098431.jpg" width="100%" /></p> <p>I also learnt detachment from the material, living in one of the most backward parts of India.</p> <p>Bundelkhand, where the holy city of Chitrakoot lies, suffers from critical environmental and hygiene conditions as a result of draught and water scarcity.</p> <p>I started by documenting this reality, and now here I am, collaborating with organizations, diverse administrations and local personalities, for the sake of villagers, whose trust it has taken me many years and endless cups of shared chai to gain. Now I can work with long term aims and goals in mind.&nbsp;<br /> <br /> <img alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/609962/DSCF5416__Moyen_-1565186575.JPG" width="100%" /></p>

A minimum of basic infrastructure is necessary for that !<br /> Last year, my bag (my house!) with all my electronic material for documenting and working was stolen and so I renewed it at the minima from my resources. This year, to top it up, my scooter was also stolen on the field...</p> <p>Because I really need one in such a deep rural zone and have no sufficient resources to get it on my own, I decided this time to call for donations and your generosity ! Also a super cool opportunity for you to support ground level actions through me and the small NGO that I collaborate with !</p> <p>So dear friends, I am in your hands !<br /> <br /> <img alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/609961/DSCF5922__Moyen_-1565186210.JPG" width="100%" /></p> <p><strong>Notes </strong>:<br /> 1. Of course, when I don&#39;t get use of the scooter, it will be at the disposal of others social workers of NGO Akhil Bhartiya Samaj Seva Sansthan. with whom I collaborate now closely - here are a few useful links if you wish to dig the subject :<br /> Facebook page : <a href="https://www.facebook.com/abssschitrakoot/" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/abssschitrakoot/</a><br /> And its website : <a href="http://absss.in/" target="_blank">http://absss.in</a><br /> 2.
