Bonnie Ma, as she is affectionately known to the children, one of the founding members of "Child Haven International", came for 3 day visit. The children dressed up and did performances, we had lots of great foods and we had all sorts of meetings. It was a busy few days. It is very interesting to watch and learn all the various things that Bonnie needs to attend to during her short stay. The girl with the chalk on the sidewalk is doing ragoli, it is a colourful welcome that is done outside of the door ways. And that's me in a different sari. (as requested) They are actually quite fun to wear and they certainly do stir up a fuss with the children.
I have just 3 weeks left at the Ashram before Kerry and I do some travelling up in Northern India and Nepal. Next week I hope to tour some Buddhist caves near by here.
Hope all is well,
Love Beth

Namaste my dear Beth, what an experience you are living my dear! Lifetime memories I am sure, you look absolutely beautiful in your Shalwars and saris...and it is so heartwarming to see the smile on your face and on the children, there seems to be so much love, happiness, a sense of peace perhaps,,,,contentment perhaps for the children who've not been exposed to our "spoiled" way of life. I have no doubt in my mind that you will come back so so humbled, and appreciate life here in Canada, more than you ever have before! Beth, you have no idea, and I know I'm speaking on behalf of your family and friends, how so very proud we are of you and your endeavours, Your belief in this great cause has brightenned the lives of so many beautiful, deserving little souls! You truly are a gem:))) We miss you lots, X0X0X Tina
