And this made the houses look new, clean and pleasant to look at. Fact is, because of the lovely sight, visitors can make beautiful pictures with them.

Aside from the external change, people claim that the new surroundings have somehow added positivity and even hope for them. People in Jodipan are now being raved by tourist as pleasant and very warm. And because of this, they are very much willing to give the place a second or even third visit. They feel so welcome and they can feel the positivity running around the place.
