Julley everyone! (this means hello, goodbye, thank-you, etc. in Ladakhi)
Here are a few more pics before we head off to the villages for 2 weeks.
We are busy prepping/packing today and will hopefully go to the Tibetan Childrens' Village (school for 2000 Tibetan children) tonight for a dance performance. No computer access while we are out in the villages, but there is sure to be some great pics when we return on July 10th!
The pics today are:
1) 2 girls that Eric, Deb and Lex met en route to a monastery on Friday. We got lost trying to find it, which is meant to be good karma!
2) The finished product of Iqbal's wheelchair! We had a whole team watching the Canadian women work-it was too funny. Thanks Jen for all your help- the chair worked out really well!
3) The revolutionaries (Izzy, Lex and Tree; Lea is taking the photo) at work gluing the foam together for Iqbal's seating system. It was so smelly!
4) Song time at the Moravian Mission school where Kate, Izzy and Lea went to work with Ladakh-Hilfe a few days ago. The little guy in Lea's lap is sound asleep (he has a seizure disorder) but with lots of sensory processing tricks, they were able to wake him up to work on a puzzle- the most that Ladakh-Hilfe has seen him awake in a long time!
5) Deb and Eric skipping rocks by the river with kids from the Tibetan Childrens Village. Deb, Eric and Lex went to the public ceremony for Ling Rinpoche (the re-incarnation of the His Holiness' senior tutor) this morning and after sitting in the blazing sun, we needed to seek shade by the river. We thought the ceremony was going to be in a monastery, but it was in a huge field similar to the folk festival setting- we were a little unprepared!
Hope everyone is well, miss you all,
The gang
