MALA INDIA - INDIAN SHOP

Often, when the weather is so cold and rainy I go to the Indian Shop "Mala India" we have here in Waterloo. All items sold there are for the benefice for street children and orphans in India.

It is a wonderful place to chill out and doesn't really look like a shop but rather like a private house.


The entrance doesn't really show the treasures which are behind this door.



First you see this beautiful well. Indian soft music fills the rooms. Behind the well there is a corner with little tables and chairs where you can have a cup of tea for free. Friendly people are sitting there chatting together.

From the library a staircase leads to the second floor



Where a rikshaw is hanging on the ceiling.

I did my little tour cheering me up and then returned back home

  6. What a wonderful place, Gattina! Great idea to sell articles in order to support streetchildren! Is it something like Oxfam?

  12. Free tea! another reason to visit the shop, although I don't think you need a reason to go there.
