Thanks a Latte

No apologies this time for not blogging regularly. Lots of work to do. Recently we added a donation button to the Gaden Monks website - www.gadenshartsetour.org as well as the ability to Sponsor a monk right off the site. The light didn't actually go on until in the first few weeks 2 monks were sponsored immediately.

Thanks so much to the people sponsoring these monks. $20/month - that's the equivalent of giving up one latte a week for myself - can make a tremendous difference in the life of a Tibetan Refugee living in Nepal or India. Yep, that's all that stands between me and dental care, eye glasses, food, clothing and shelter for a Tibetan refugee. One Latte a week.

The Gaden Tour is doing very well and we are building quite a list of those wishing to stay connected to the monks. This will enable us to notify folks of the Tours progress and travels. I spoke to my friend Tenzin yesterday and the advancement in his English was astounding. We actually had a conversation. The monks are so happy!!! Here is a picture of Tenzin - who worked the door with me at the Tours last events here in Grass Valley. A Comedian by nature... now at least I can understand what is so funny to him!
