LA LUZ DE AMMA spanish then in english
La luz de Amma, fin de semana pasado
El sabado 14 de marzo, en casa de las devotas Vimala e Isabel, celebramos la vida, amor y devocion con 30 amigos y devotos. Al reunirnos en paz, cantamos canciones devocionales. Hubo un mensaje inspirador de Amma acerca de la Fe, en uno mismo y en Dios. (revisar el mensage de Amma en el Blog). Despues compartimos una hermosa comida vegetariana traida, elaborada y compartida con amor.
__________________________________________
El domingo 15 de marzo, en casa de Kumar y Khullod, nos reunimos para cortar vegetales y preparar "la sopa del amor" para llevar a los indigentes de las calles de San JOse. Mas de 12 adultos y 8 adolescentes cortaron, limpiaron y cocinaron. Cantamos, oramos y reimos espontaneamente. Antes de dirigirnos a las calles, oramos en diferentes idiomas para que encuentren la paz en sus vidas.
Al menos 6 personas mas se encontraron con nosotros en las calles para servir la comida. El entusiasmo y amor de la gente joven fue fabuloso al servir la sopa y el jugo, asi como su voluntad para limpiar la basura.
Cuando Erland y yo llegamos, minutos antes, la primera mujer en la linea queria entregarme un regalo, yo dije: "no, no no es necesario", ella insistio y me entrego un collar que tenia un bombillito, para mi es un simbolo de la luz de Amma, mi corazon se lleno.
Al final se sirvieron mas de 200 tazas de sopa. Un hombre insistio en entregarle 100 colones a los jovenes.
Ellos partieron con la pansita llena y nosotros con nuestro corazon lleno.
La luz de Amma esta brillando aqui en Costa Rica.
Jai Amma.

RE: The School Program – 2009 - Update
Your are making it possible for 38 children to go to school this year, with “some help” being given to an additional 3 children who got here after the school year began. Thank you!
We’ve finished the initial phase – buying the school uniforms, supplies, shoes, backpacks, and rain gear.
Originally, we estimated that another $1,300 would be needed to finish buying the books. Several of the teachers at the Puerto Viejo school, where we send the biggest contingent of Bridge Kids, have begin making copies of the books available for the children in their classes. This drops our expected additional costs for this phase to $600 - $800!
Your donations to support this last “push” will be very timely, and very welcome!
Donate now!
You’ll be glad you did!
Thank you!
