Dotting the Indian countryside, under thatched roofs, on verandahs,
and in village lanes, hands flex and flutter in precise movements
to create works of art not for permanent admiration, but for
daily wear.
Unlike many countries, where
works of hand art appear only in museums, in India young and
old practice handloom weaving as a living craft for their
daily bread. This low cost, labor intensive technology, using
equipment built from environment-friendly materials, consumes
almost no electricity and directly employs over 12 million
people. Yet, along with farmers, weavers struggle to survive
in India today.
Our 2008 calendar highlights
some of India's handmade textile wealth, along with the basic
processes that transform cotton fiber to fabric and pays tribute
to the extraordinary men and women
involved in this craft.
We hope this calendar helps
more of us become cognizant of the issues, and connect at
a deeper level.

New year is just
around the corner, which means it is time for a new calendar! For
a suggested donation of $12, you get a lovely AID calendar with
not just information on all the festivals and important holidays
and events, but also captured moments from the lives of people we
support.
When you buy a calendar from AID,
you are supporting projects which AID-Boston is working on. Projects
that you can learn more about, projects that you can actually be
part of. And this means you know where the money goes!
This calendar is made with 100% recycled
paper designed with open source technology. When you purchase a calendar,
you help us spread AID's message.
Buying a calendar will go a long
way in encouraging our team of volunteers - students and professionals,
who gave their time and effort to bring you this calendar.
Finally, if you ever wanted to
be a part of a fundraiser for projects in India, this is your chance.
Please support us with getting this calendar and encourage your friends and family
to buy one too. Thank You!
