Ho<strong>we</strong>ver, through all <strong>the</strong> years <strong>of</strong> <strong>Mitra</strong>'s existence, <strong>we</strong> have been confident that it is <strong>the</strong><br />

<strong>people</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> villages <strong>the</strong>mselves who have <strong>the</strong> solutions to <strong>the</strong>ir problems. We <strong>believe</strong> <strong>in</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong>se <strong>people</strong> and <strong>the</strong>ir strengths. At <strong>the</strong> core <strong>of</strong> <strong>Mitra</strong> is our relationship with <strong>the</strong> 12,000<br />

<strong>people</strong> liv<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> 53 villages around us; this is <strong>the</strong> foundation <strong>of</strong> all <strong>we</strong> do. Toge<strong>the</strong>r, <strong>we</strong> are<br />

able to unearth issues and needs, and discuss possibilities. Then, <strong>we</strong> act toge<strong>the</strong>r. The action<br />

and reflection that takes place dur<strong>in</strong>g this process feeds back <strong>in</strong>to our relationship, and <strong>we</strong><br />

all grow toge<strong>the</strong>r. Our work is our life. For us, <strong>Mitra</strong> is much more than a programme; it is a<br />

concept, a philosophy, and a way <strong>of</strong> life.
