A4A was launched on 15th August 2014 with the explicit purpose of purchasing the remaining unsecured plots in the Matrimandir Area and the International Zone.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”2070″ style=”vc_box_rounded” border_color=”grey” img_link_large=”” img_link_target=”_self” img_size=”full”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text disable_pattern=”true” align=”left” margin_bottom=”0″]A period of 10 months has passed in which this action has grown, gained strength, and become an integral part of Auroville. It has inspired acts of unity within Auroville’s worldwide “family” of supporters, wellwishers, and followers of Sri Aurobindo and The Mother’s vision of a new possibility for humanity. This new plot of Auroville land is located in the Peace Area, as promised, just adjacent to the Matrimandir – the soul of the city – and its gardens.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”2071″ style=”vc_box_rounded” border_color=”grey” img_link_large=”” img_link_target=”_self” img_size=”full”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text disable_pattern=”true” align=”left” margin_bottom=”0″]It brings a vital element to the crucial consolidation of Auroville’s land. We express our great thanks to the Land Board for their successful realization of this acquisition. To all of you who have understood the cause and donated for it, we express our sincerest thanks. We know you feel as gratified as we do. We are deeply grateful to the family of landowners who has made this possible. Looking forward to more good news in the future for Auroville land consolidation, In solidarity and with the firm belief in Auroville’s radiant future, Aryadeep, Mandakini, Sigrid, Jothi of the A4A Team [/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
