Ananda Bharati work camps
Work camps (2005... today Ireland) The 40 acre farm, which was bought in 1991, overlooks the Lough Derg, the second longest lake in Ireland, as well as the Slieve Aughty Mountains. At the time of purchase, 10 acres of Sitka Spruce and Pine trees were planted. In the Fall of 2004, Didi Ananda Prama began renovations on the house. She fixed up one room and bathroom to start with in the Fall and then came back in March 2005 and started planting a little garden with one volunteer. She also started having working camps with VSI (Volunteers Service International from Dublin), a group that holds work camps to promote peace and understanding. They had three work camps the first summer, the second summer they had 3 camps, the third summer two camps, and this year, the fourth year, two camps. Didi also gets a lot of volunteers from Woofers – Worldwide Opportunities on Organic Farms. With the help of these two groups they fixed up the house and gardens and built a compost toilet, a poly tunnel, a full bakery, and a meditation house.
