Update from Katmandu
Dear everyone, Namaste
Volunteer Day celebration by Youth Society for Peace (YSP) was a great
successes altogether. We had a participation of about 150 people and
the amazing part was that inspite of the cold Saturday(holiday) morning
people turned up to appreciate and encourage us & took part in the
activities that we had organized.
The very young girls and boys from 'Bal bhojan Program' of street
children were a great inspiration and pleasure to watch. Very actively
some students from Hindu Vidyapeeth school were holding "play cards"
such as; 'Once a volunteer always a volunteer', and "There is no
way to peace, peace is the way", and so on, which was highly
appreciated by the reputed personalities taking part in the program.
The way those young hands took up the brooms to clean the temple and
its surrounding was a feast to the eyes.YSP gave these young
participants a small stationary gift as a token of thanks.
Then there was of the burning the peace lights in the active initiation
of Shanti Sewa Ashram (SSA) that gave us all a sense of togetherness.
Then we had the donation programme where we helped a school in a very
rural, eastern part of Nepal. We helped by giving tution and fees to
the school for a student for a year & then supplying the school
child with as much stationary, clothes and everything that we had been
successful in collecting.
The most inspiring words form the chief guest Dr. Prabha Basnet member
secretary of Social Welfare Council, organizers and our dear beloved
patron, C.M. Yogi definitely did make us feel " Yes, it is high time we
do something to bring peace".
I also want to thank the singers who singed and made everybody express
what is always in our hearts.......love for the world and all the being
that reside here.
At last i want to thanks all the peace seekers for being a part of the
YSP programme and we extend our heartfelt gratitude towards everyone
who helped.
