In this week's update, I'd like to share some information about
Shree Mangal Dvip Boarding School,
where half your donations from our special evening will go. I was able
to visit the school in 2009 and have written several articles about it:
The
school is connected to my book project and has crept into our family's
life, too. My kids collect bottles to help a young boy at SMD, and I've
learned that these borderland children are connected to Kushok's
ancestry, too. Kushok's deceased uncle was a well-loved Buddhist master
who meditated and taught in the Himalayas where many of these children
are born. I've attached photos of Kushok's uncle's monastery (his
deceased uncle was the 16th Drakar Rinpoche, and his father took care of
the monastery). Photos courtesy of Geshe Zopa's blog:

Until the next update, keep well. And thanks for supporting my project and the children of Shree Mangal Dvip!
Jane.
