Retreat!!

I had originally set up this blog to provide you all an update on the planning of the Retreat in Jammu from July 24-26, 2004. Following the retreat, I realized there are many small things we can do to help the children there, so I will continue sharing with you the planning of these initiatives.

Good Luck Messages to Students

Dear All:

It's almost that time of year in India - Final Exam Time. If writing exams were not hard enough, imagine having to study for them in makeshift refugee camps hundreds of miles from your home.

So to show our support to the 10th and 12th Standard Students residing in the refugee camps and to wish them well in their Board exams, we are putting together a Good Luck poster. Some of you may have contributed to the one we prepared at KOA National Camp in July 2004, which was a success.

These seven identical posters (which will be produced electronically by combining all written messages into one poster) shall be given to each of the schools to hang up on their wall so all students at the schools are able to read the messages.

Please write a short message to them in either English or Hindi.

You can include your message in the poster by choosing one of the following options:
1) Handwrite (preferably in color and a thick pen/marker) your message and scan it on a computer and email me the image electronically
2) Handwrite (preferably in color and a thick pen/marker) your message and mail it to me at:
Dhiraj Bakaya
[address available upon email request]
3) Type your message text and email it to me (I shall format these myself)
4) Create your own message in MS Paint or other programs and then send me by either scanning a print out, mailing it to me, or sending me an electronic file of it.

In all cases, please sign your message with your first and last names, City, State and Country. For example:
"Best Wishes,
Dhiraj Bakaya,
Philadelphia, PA, USA."

You have until Friday February 3 to get your messages to me. Please note postal mail will take at least 2 days to get to me.

If you have any questions, let me know!

Regards,


Dhiraj
