No'rbu, dancing inside the temple. He's from Nepal and hasn't seen his family in 7 years he said.
The one and only Akash on the left, then some kid I don't know then on the right is Bikash *Akash's older brother*

Fruit, Balloons, Toys, Flowers, Incense, Curry, Statues, Books, Streamers, Posters, etc...
Some of my Cricket friends.
2 of the nuns who live at the Tara temple at the Alice Project.
Happy Independence Day India!
Watching the dancing and festivities.
Henna tattoos. These children were getting ready to do a reenactment.
Waiting. Presh.

Looking out from one of the classrooms.

Akash being hilarious.
Pankaj on the right and Boom on the left. Pankaj is one of two teachers at a branch school 4 hours away. Boom is 15 years old, he's a refugee from Tibet, he speaks Tibetan, Hindi, Italian, and English, he is also teaching himself physics. *He is the one who put the green rope lights on the Buddha.*
Just Dance! I forgot the upload the few with me in them sorry everyone.
In front of the Shrine, I'm in the back right corner with Akash and Bikash smashing me.
No'rbu wanted me to take a picture of him pretending to meditate. Haha, he is absolutely amazing and has the biggest smile.

  1. That is a Crazy Shrine. The girls are dressed in amazing colors and the boys look very happy.
    Don't let the spiders get to comfortable, you need to show them who is the ruler of your room.
