9 June 2024: Fireflies Intercultural Center and Pipal Tree Trust, India: Honoured as an Exemplary Home for Humanity

This twin-organisation, founded by eminent social activist Siddharta, was honoured for its “outstanding contribution to personal growth, cultural engagement, environmental protection, Indigenous rights and social renewal - and for creating a remarkable place for individual and collective renewal and action along social and ecological lines.”

“The whole world is a single family. That is what we are trying to achieve here, locally, in villages and tribal areas, and globally, with the Homes for Humanity movement.

We have to learn to live in Peace, to appreciate each other’s cultures, to learn from and dialogue with each other.” emphasizes Siddharta, the visionary founder of Fireflies Intercultural Centre and Pipal Tree Trust, lodged at Dinnepalya village, near Bangalore, Karnataka India.
