Auroville International UK
provides information about Auroville and gives
help and advice for those wishing to visit or
to live there permanently. We provide assistance
regarding guest facilities, working in the community,
visas, traveling arrangements, joining the community
and about the work of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother.
We carry a range of information leaflets, brochures,
and videos and can obtain detailed information
on most projects and activities in Auroville.
Members
of AVI UK visit Auroville regularly and we try
to have the latest information available
AVIUK also helps
to support the work of Auroville by raising
funds for projects
in and around Auroville.
AVI UK publishes
a newsletter
for its members twice a year, giving up to date
information about various activities and projects
in Auroville, particularly those which we are
presently supporting. We also give information
about activities in the UK, such as meetings and
lectures.
Members
of AVI UK are often invited to give lectures by
universities and organizations having similar
interests.

Membership
AVI UK invites anyone interested in its work,
and in the work of Auroville, to become a member
of the organization. There is a sliding scale
of subscriptions, such that members can contribute
according to their own wishes. For this membership
contribution, members receive a bi-annual newsletter
and an invitation to meetings.

Fund Raising
The organization applies for funds from
funding agencies such as the EC, British
Government(DIFID), National Lotteries and
private trusts, for work being carried out
in the Auroville bio region. Donations
are also received from individuals and organizations
which are used to support a number of projects
in Auroville. Being a registered charity
gives us the benefit of being able to recover
tax from donations made by UK taxpayers.
Individuals may make donations designated
for specific projects.
AVI UK may choose to support one or more
projects
on a regular basis, ensuring continuity
of funding.
AVIUK also invites fund
from individuals by means of appeals, there
by supporting projects such as Matrimandir,
the Land
Fund and other
projects vital to Auroville development.

Providing Assistance to
Auroville and Aurovilians
AVI UK helps to provide a link between
members of the community of Auroville and
the UK. We are in close contact with Auroville
by means of letter, fax and E mail. We provide
assistance with obtaining information and
materials from the UK, liaising with UK
companies and organizations, on behalf of
Auroville, and providing expertise where
this is not available from within the community.

|
|
Meetings
AVI UK holds two general meetings held each
year, and committee meetings approximately
quarterly. General meetings are announced
in the newsletter
and we invite anyone interested in Auroville
to attend. Often at these events we have
the chance to see the latest video from
Auroville, or slides taken by one of our
members during a recent visit.
