4th Month at Jhamtse Gatsal

September 20, 2009 | Category: Arunachal Pradesh, India, Volunteering | by: Heather

Wow, how the time has flown!  This was a very busy month, trying to wrap up all the projects that we’ve been working on.  Wish we could stay longer, but our visas say we have to go for now — but that just means we’ll have to come back again someday.  We’ve really loved our time at Jhamtse Gatsal, and feeling like we could share our talents in some small way.  The month of September was also busy with the arrival of 22 new students, as well as the grand beginnings of a community outreach program being organized by this community.  27 photos.

    Hi guys,
    Long time no talk. I was just thinking of you and came to see what all you’re up to. These pictures are so beautiful– the new kids look so wonderful. I’m so jealous you got to meet and know them all!! Everyone up there is so lucky to have gotten to have you there for so long, (not to mention how helpful all your work has been for the organization)– But mostly, as mommy-daddy-aunt-uncle-big-cool-brother-sisters for the kids, as was obvious in July and is obvious from these pictures and everything I here about life in the garden. I can’t wait until our paths get to cross up there again hopefully sometime soon!! Happy Thanksgiving, hope you guys are having the time of your life, lots of love, <3 Sandy

    by the way, don’t know if you’ve seen this, (or if you’ll have bandwidth to watch it any time soon), but I think you’d enjoy:

    Yes! I like that video….thanks! We sure did love our time at Gatsal this summer, and can’t wait to go back. Btw, I have pics of all the new kids, both roster style and from their arrival day, as well as in the villages before they came…if you know of anyone that needs those soon.
