Rasamaya® Yoga Teacher Trainees have decided to sponsor a child at Bal Ashram in India. Bal Ashram is an orphanage that takes in children who are living in poverty in Varanasi who have lost either one or both parents. They receive housing health care, education, food, and happiness. Just $500 will pay to educate a child for an entire year. The more that we can generate the more that we can help. The boy pictured at the right is Sohum, we receive regular updates from the orphanage on how he is doing (he’s only 7yrs!) and occasionally some fantastic hand drawn pictures. Should you be going to India you are welcome to go visit the orphanage, as well as volunteer there. We hope to organize a trip to Varanasi to volunteer for several weeks in 2009 or 2010. Bal Ashram is run by one of Carrie's spiritual teachers, Baba Harihar Ramji of Sonoma Ashram in California and the orphanage was started by his Guru Aghoreshwar Baba Bhagwan Ramji.
