The PaalaGuttaPalleFamily, a post a day - Aravinda Pillalamarri

Aravinda Pillalamarri

Friend and pillar of support to the women of PaalaGuttaPalle. From day 1. With unflagging commitment.

There is no way we can walk through all that she has done and is doing with and for the women of Paalaguttapalle. And towards their efforts to lead an honest livlihood.

At each turning raising the bar. Demanding perfection from the women. And getting it. And working out orders for them.On a sustained basis.


The grocery compartment bags were ordered in many hundreds, and she systematically worked on getting friends to carry the bags to US. These orders themselves sustained the womens work for months.

Aravinda's post, 

" 6 spacious pockets in one bags.

The tomatoes stay in their pocket, and the potatoes in theirs. 

Nobody crushes anybody !

Orders yours now ! Available in 3 sizes.

 Yes! A bag for everything and everything in the bag. 

Take this multi pocket shopping bag and say no to plastic bags of every shape and size.
KICK the USE-n-THROW habit for GOOD!
Thanks to Aparna Krishnan and the Paalaguttapalle - Dalitwada folks."

She took the bags to so many places.

@The Farmers Market. 

This is how she has been part of so many designs.

Aravinda Pillalamarri, friend, co-traveller, sent me this image for the #PaalaGuttaPalleBags team.

 

A duffel bag, with a pocket for a vertical water bottle, with another zipped outer pocket with a small hole from where the cell phone earphones wire can go in.

I sent the picture to Anitha yesterday over Whatsapp. Today she Whatsapps these pictures to me.

She ordered these bags for  Upper Chesapeake Bay Pride  event

And this is her lovely daughter Khiyali, as committed as her to all social causes.

 

 And sent us this beautiful article.

Roopa sent me this card image one day. With much glee. 
"Madam, send me her whatsapp number. We will also call and wish her. 

Aravinda madam wrote to us that she sees people using our bags in USA, and feels very happy when she sees this."
