reStore (http://restore.org.in ) is a new community
organization of people interested in activities that
promote healthy living, sustainable livelihoods and
conservation of nature. reStore is to be inaugurated
on Saturday February 16th 2008 at a function in Adyar.
The launch event, for which the public is invited,
will feature puppet theater, a multimedia presentation
and dinner featuring healthy and tasty traditional
foods. The dinner will be cooked by volunteers from
organic ingredients sourced from local farmers.
Organic grains, recipe booklets and information about
sustainable lifestyles will be made available, as well
as lively interactions with farmers and health
practitioners on the benefits of millets
(siru-daanyangal).

reStore works to restore wellness of the general
public, livelihoods and ecological balance. With this
in view, the organization is creating a network of
retail outlets that promote sustainable products
including organic food, books, household items made
from eco-friendly material, handspun and natural-dyed
organic textiles, gardening inputs and health
products. Products will preferentially be sourced from
local organic farmers, self-help groups, organizations
promoting livelihoods of marginalized people, and
traditional artisans and weavers.

reStore plans to engage with people via a variety of
activities such workshops, farm visits, film
screenings and organic gardening sessions. These
activities are aimed at increasing awareness of issues
and connecting consumers with the producers of their
food and other articles of daily living.

reStore welcomes everyone interested in regenerating
their own health and that of the earth to participate
in its launch event which will be held between 5.30
and 8.00 PM on February 16th at Shastri Nagar Welfare
