CARING AND LEARNING

Yashodhara has begun a new activity for its children: Sundays will be a time for recreation and learning by spending two hours in the morning shaping and caring for a garden and a vegetable patch.

The children were delighted when they heard about the new activity. Previously, they used to clean around the house every Sunday, but now they can participate in the creation and care of their Home. They like plants, especially fruit trees. There are some mango trees around the house and the children look forward to their blooming in order to have mangoes to eat.

Asha-Kiran integrates environmental education in the children’s overall education to awaken in them a deep respect and love for their environment that will motivate them to care for it and share it with others.

SOLIDARITY DINNER IN MADRID - SHARING FEELINGS

Yesterday, Monday January 31, Asha-Kiran held a Solidarity dinner for 66 guests at Ecocentro Restaurant, which very generously donated the totality of the funds raised to the social work that A-K does in India.

Asha-Kiran views awareness-raising as an important task. Sharing feelings and creating the atmosphere for this to happen is for us a unique form of raising awareness. The use of different forms of Art seeks the awakening of an awareness that naturally chooses values that make us more understanding and sympathetic to our own attitudes and those of others.

Thus, Basque poet Juan Luis Deza from Vitoria-Gasteiz joined us generously on this solidarity evening by unfolding poems that flourished in the audience in the form of love, unity and silence – an invitation to "put on" these feelings forever.

We wish to give our thanks Ecocentro Restaurant for giving us the chance to share these moments and for nourishing us with care; to the public that contributed with the human warmth needed; to Juan Luis Leza for making himself available; to the Volunteers who prepared the get-together so lovingly and carefully; to the dozens of people who could not attend due to lack of space or time; and to those girls and boys who are always Asha-Kiran’s driving force and who allow us to journey through generosity and passion.

We hope to continue having your support and... feelings.
Thank you.
