The final big celebration evening
for Asha took place at the Habitat Centre in Delhi last Saturday - a
beautiful evening acknowledging the many contributions of selfless
commitment to Asha, from doctors, surgeons, diplomats, businesses and
other individuals supporting Asha’s work.
We were entertained by dance groups from the slums and students who bravely revealed their life stories.
We enjoyed a delicious meal afterwards and a chance to admire a
ll the beautiful saris and the students, who were stunning!
Not satisfied with all this fun, Sally and I shot off to Agra on Sunday
for two days sightseeing -The Tomb of I'timād-ud-Daulah (Baby Taj), The
Red Fort and the Taj Mahal..... it doesn’t matter how many times you
see the Taj Mahal, or how early in the morning.......it’s always
magnificent!
Sally flew home yesterday - it was lovely having her
stay with us and such a help with all the preparations for craft work
and teaching, not to mention the washing up etc.
