The two national and even
international festival days of the Holi bring together the Hindu community
every year in March. The common goal is to
celebrate a renewal in the year, corresponding to the purification of his soul
by the recognition and the externalization of his sins. The cult of the Gods,
the throwing of multicolored flowers or sheaves of colored powders are at the
rendez-vous, and at Sambhali Trust especially !
This year, this event took place on Thursday and Friday, 1st and 2nd of March. But since Holi is the occasion to exchange smiles, surprises, music, and also good food it is also a great opportunity to strengthen the humans relationship of the community of the Trust!
Thus, Sambhali Trust organized a special event on 28th February 2018 for the staff, volunteer, women and children of the Trust.
We welcomed in the
patio of Durag Niwas guesthouse about thirty women and about
twenty children coming from different centers in Jodhpur. We celebrated the
event with traditional music, performed by talented musicians. The
famous yellow, red, white flowers, falling from the upper floors exulted us
with joy. The entire Sambhali Trust
team was there, laughing under a shower of flowers : volunteers, women and children are invited to go into a trance to find a
certain balance in their lives. It was a couple of hours which seemed to be out of time and
space, we were transported by the pleasure of being so united for a single common cause
and shared values.
On February 2nd, we celebrated Holi with the colored powders with the volunteers and members of the Sambhali Trust
staff. It was an amazing morning, between rainbow colors and water jets, everyone
finished it in a very particular state. The pictures speak for themselves.
We will remember these two days as an
opportunity for the Indians to share a joy such as Christmas, to start the
spring with a new surge of joy and aspirations. May your new spring also shine with us and all
the women of Sambhali Trust.
Donatien,
Volunteer
