Last-Minute Summer Volunteering at Saraha
September, 2015, volunteering is still going on. We need more help to get the Institute ready for Lama visits, and the children's school ready for classes beginning Sept. 9.
This mean's us, really, apart from this, what is everyone doing these few last weeks of summer? People come in to do a few quick minutes of volunteering, quizzically exaggerating at tea time the glories of spot vacations to incommunicable oceans that were already there, and are always there, or waterfalls that are summerwise petering out of still unswimmable freezing water, relatives that don't much care, dogs allowed or not allowed.
Meanwhile, some low single digit few are trying to get it done here every day, volunteers, breaking knuckles, breaking sweats, last minute building and renovation projects dedicated with love to everyone and to the future, packed with learning and meaning and good intent, for something quite one-time new rare, unique and beautiful, our dear and precious Saraha Institute & Saraha Children's School. Please drop by and lend a hand.
