On the left is a picture of a road sign in Delhi written in four languages namely Hindi, English, Punjabi and Urdu. Please notice the different scripts used for each language. These are full fledged languages and not mere dialects.
I have about one week left to start preparing for my departure to India next Sunday. WOW, I am going HOME! Tonight I am sending an email to the staff at my school requesting for some donations for the residential school for tribal boys and girls at the Lok Biradari Prakalp in Hemalkasa. I am also hoping that our school will adopt the tribal school in Hemalkasa and form a partnership with them. I will be visiting there in December. Padmashree (a national honor) Dr. Prakash Amte runs a hospital and a school there for the Madia Gond tribe who lives in the region. I was greatly inspired once again to revisit this remote area in a jungle after attending an inspiring presentation by Dr. Prakash Amte in San Jose in July. I am also collecting personal CD players and MP3 players for the "Swaranandanwan" orchestra consisting of blind and disabled youth of Anandwan started by Baba Amte in 1951.
