Indian + Foreign volunteers

      

In the last month we have had Indian volunteers working alongside foreign volunteers, and everyone is very happy. We have Samiskha from Delhi volunteering with us currently, working both in our local centre, and our slum centre. We also have had Christina from Spain volunteering with us who has helped with providing food, nutrition, love and care for the children. Christina reminded one of our children called Dipu of his mother who has passed away, so him and Christina developed a very close bond. Dipu was very sad when Christina left. Dipu's father has also passed away, and he currently lives with his Aunty who unfortunately treats him very badly. We are looking for someone to adopt Dipu so he can have a happy, well loved life. To adopt Dipu would involve supporting Dipu financially so he can attend boarding school, therefore he can receive a good education and have a happy and safe living environment. For further details on how you can help please contact Somit.                                                                      

Our Indian Volunteer Samiksha from Delhi is doing here volunteer internship program for 2 weeks in our both Centers.

A Month Of Celebration

This month, we did a ritual program for the happiness of the school, family and everyone here in Varanasi. It is called Mahamritunjay Pooja (one of the most powerful worships of Shiva) and we did it in the yoga room.

In this ritual done by 7 Spiritual priests, I was in the main pooja ( worship ) as you can see in the pictures.

At the end I did a special aarti ( prayer ) and then took a blessing from the priest.

This month some Japanese volunteers also visited here and they helped by teaching and playing with the kids.

Volunteers from Canada came to our center and played a balloon game with the kids. It was such an interesting time with all of them.  They were here only for few hours but in that time, they have given lots of love and happiness to all the kids.

We hired 5 auto ricksaws to take the kids accompanied by volunteers to and from the movie theater.  All the children seemed very glad for this trip!  The 5 auto ricksaws took over a whole road for a little competition of auto ricksaw.  The children were cheering and were so excited.
