Excerpt
Excerpt: The Sarvodaya movement started in Sri Lanka, where in 1958, a Buddhist high school teacher named A.T. Ariyaratne took a handful of his students and started work camps in the poorest of outcaste villages. From that inconspicuous beginning grew a movement which has spread to over 5000 towns and villages and is now, as the largest non-governmental organization in the country, offering an alternative to the Western industrial model of development.
