Beautiful Usthi Fest

On the 24th of August the traditional Usthi party took place in the Cevi hut in Rapperswil-Jona. The weather was fine and people met for sausage, beer, cake and a chat.

From 14:00 Usthi friends and people interested in Usthi arrived at the Cevi hut to have a cool drink accompanied by the best summer weather. Thanks to generous donations from Cava Rava, Getränke Weibel, TopCC, Blumen Jasmin, Bäckerei Wick and the active support of volunteers, the costs could be kept very low. The profit of the festival goes into the work of the Usthi Foundation in India.

Usthi would like to thank all partners, helpers and the Cevi Rapperswil-Jona for the pleasant cooperation and the great support and all visitors for their interest in Usthi and the beautiful afternoon.
