Phir Milenge!

Sadly, my time at Maitri is coming to an end.  However, I couldn't leave India without learning how to wear a sari!  Anita was kind enough to show me how to wrap it, although I'm still not sure how I would walk without tripping.  It will definitely take some practice.



I'm so grateful for the things that I've learned, the people I've met, the experiences I've had, and the memories I'll carry with me forever.  Maitri has such a great team dedicated to making the world a better place.  But, I won't say goodbye because I expect to return to India to finish what I started and to see the wonderful places that are yet to be explored.  So, for now I will only say "Phir milenge!"

Golfournament 2012



Maitri's annual golf tournament (dubbed Golfournament) was held at Qutub Golf Course on December 1st.  It was a beautiful day, the golfers were in good spirits, there was plenty of delicious food, and we raised a lot of  funds for the ashram for the widows in Vrindavan.  I've played a few rounds of golf in my day, but never in December.  One of the benefits of living in India, I suppose.  I was impressed by the skill and also the generosity of the players and I could feel the commitment of the community as they came together to support a very worthy cause.  Another successful year!
