Beauty is always in the eye of the Beholder – and our children are beautiful

For every beauty there is an eye to see it. For every truth there is an ear somewhere to hear it. For every love there is a heart somewhere to receive it. -Ivan Panin

Part A

On July 27th 2010 I told you about Leah’s ride across Iowa.

Today I received the following update and link to Leah’s blog describing her jouney. As I haven’t figured out how to include a link yet – please cut and paste the link below.

” Hi Friends!

It’s been over a month since I returned from RAGBRAI (the week long bike ride across Iowa), and I finally got around to posting about it on my blog. For those of you who donated to my cause thank you SO MUCH! I raised nearly $1000 for the NGO I taught at in India last year. Please go here for the low-down:

Thanks a ton and love to you all!
Leah”

Many people saw the beauty that Leah described to them about her time in India with the One! children, and donated generously to her cause – One! International.
THANK YOU LEAH AND ALL THOSE WHO DONATED.

Part B

Last week one of our recent volunteers returned to her home in Spain, and sent the following message about her time in Mumbai, teaching the children.
All of you will enjoy the video – but expecially those of you who have been to Mumbai and spent time with the children.

“Hello Marilyn,

I am already back to Spain, with a big smile from my Mumbai experience. Indeed the best of all this was the children; they are really nice and thankful. I was very impress with the big work that one! International is doing with these families and the children, really, I respect your work.

I do not know when I will be able to go to Mumbai but I really keep a good memory from there and the wish is there, and I may encourage to other people to go.

I edited a video from my month experience with the children, click the link to see it.[NB Please cut and paste the link.] The school already has a copy of it.
