Dear Friends
Greetings from Calcutta, India.
My name is V Ramaswamy, I am a 46 year old business executive, social
planner and grassroots organiser. Since 1996, I have been engaged in a community empowerment programme in Priya Manna Basti, a century old Muslim slum, in Howrah, near Calcutta. This inlcudes Talimi Haq School ("Right to Learning"), a non-formal learning centre for poor and working children. I
have also been involved in building communal amity and harmony between Hindu and Muslim in India.
In 1998-99, I worked in Jerusalem on the invitation of architect-planner Lou Gelehrter, of the Jerusalem Institute for the Urban Environment. Since then I have visited Israel in 2000 and again in 2003. I had the opportunity to
visit friends in the West Bank also. In 2003, I was in the company of musicians and young people.
I have been composing and singing devotional songs based on sacred texts (Sanskrit, Pali, Hebrew, Arabic), and I held a few performances accompanied by bassist Jean Claude Jones.
Through my experience in Calcutta and in Israel-Palestine, I have felt the need for inter-faith harmony efforts in India and Israel-Palestine to learn
from and draw upon one another.
I expect to be in Israel again, in August, to attend the conference on
"Education under Occupation" in Biet Jalla.
During my visit, if possible I would like to meet with and have a dialogue with people who are actively involved in peace and harmony initiatives in
Israel-Palestine.
I also also keen to share my songs with Israeli and Palestinian school
children and young people, and if possible have them learn and sing these together.
Hence I am writing to you!
I would be very happy to hear from you.
Thank you, and with best wishes and regards,
Yours sincerely
rama
