Picnic at Mandore Gardens, March 2008

Sambhali Trust:


1st picture has few guest and the girls dancing.
2nd picture shows Asha and Sarika dancing (both are disabled physically), dancing with Chandani in pink and yellow.
3rd pic has Sandhya dancing with Chandani, we have never seen shy Sandhya dance, shy in pic also.
Sambhali News:-
Karine and Elisa left from Setrawa project and Gernot from Jodhpur project. Particpants miss them a lot. Now we have Charlotte, Anna and Karelia volunteering with us. Anna didn't have much to do in Jodhpur project, therefore moved to Setrawa project. Charlotte will be moving back to Jodhpur project to help us here. The over all impression reports from volunteers who have had finished with our program have to come.
In Jodhpur now we have 1 month intense sewing project with the local teacher Tamanah with 7 of the participants.
Particpant Soniya is teaching some basic english alphabets, numbers etc. to the less advanced girls.
We have done time tables in Setrawa and Jodhpur project.
Setrawa project girls have come up with a wonderful folk song and they have added some words to make it very personal for Sambhali and its help to them. Few friends and I think this will make a sensible Sambhali Song for the Trust.
Santh bhaiyao ri ek benadli... (Sister of seven Brothers...). The translation from song will be online soon.
On the International womens day from Jodhpur project we went to picnic at Mandore Garden, here are few impressions from the day.

Picnic lunch, Komal in red. Komal is from Agra and is visitng her cousines in Jodhpur, ended up staying with them for almost 6 months now to stay with Sambhali. Next month she is getting married and has to go back to Agra, she was crying yesterday and requesting me to bring all the Sambhali participants from Jodhpur to Agra for her marriage and she is very upset because she has to leave the Sambhali Family.
