Ladies

This is one of the performers at the celebration. She is wearing the traditional South Indian dress, more specifically in the fashion of the state, Tamil Nadu.
coolest lady at the party.

I wanted to post these pics because they are a couple my favorites from a womens' day celebration I went to in March. There were over 100 hundred villages represented and about 800-900 lovely ladies that attended, along with their kids. The celebration was to honor different womens' clubs that are formed in the villages to supplement their husbands' income. A group of women come together and decide what business or trade they would like to do. Then a local NGO that specializes in microfinancing and management helps the club in securing a loan, paying it back, saving their money, and then loaning it out to other clubs for a very small rate. It was so awesome to see these ladies in action.
