Topic - Karm Marg Quarterly Newsletter October - December 2018

 This quarter of October-December was full of excitement for Karm Marg with a whole lot of new learning and we were kept very busy due to the festive season which arrived in the winters. We have much to share in this newsletter.

Story of the quarter
Babli received a scholarship from the Shivananda Yoga Institute as a yoga instructor and teacher tanning. It is a three-month residential training program which started in November and they selected her after seeing her dedication and potential in the field of Yoga. Babli is elated as her childhood dream has come true and it’s a very big achievement for her. She has been dreaming of becoming a Yoga practitioner since she was a teenager and has been very dedicated and passionate about working in this field. She’ll soon be a fully trained Instructor and teacher.

Volunteers
Our volunteers have always been a very special part of our family and it has been our good fortune that every volunteer that visits Karm Marg falls in love with it instantly and takes the place to heart. Pablo from Germany joined us in October for a three-month residential volunteering program who was one such volunteer that Karm Marg has benefited from recently. During his stay, he taught spoken and written English to 35 Children and 4 of our staff members. He was very punctual and dedicated towards his tasks and we have clearly seen the improvement amongst our children. He is such a loving and caring person and became a favorite of all the kids and we will all dearly miss Pablo very much.

Arran & Louise who came to Karm Marg, in 2000 as volunteers and stayed for three months, visited us once again to meet the children of Karm Marg with their kids and parents. It was overwhelming in a good way to reconnect with them after such a long time. Both of them with their son performed a show about street performance arts which every kid enjoyed and some also participated in the show. We felt so blessed to see their affection towards the children of KM.

Supporter  
To dance on the music of hit Bollywood songs is a thing most loved by the children of KM and they received a big gift and surprise in the form of an even bigger music system form our long term donor and supporter Albatross Travel DK along with a party on Christmas eve. Also, every staff member received a travel bag, which was a thoughtful present as it is a very useful item for them. We’d like to thank Albatross and Mountain adventure for their continuous support and love towards KM.

An old friend and a long term supporter, Nelleke, from Capsicum shop, Amsterdam paid us a visit to celebrate the festival of Diwali with us. She donated a printer to KM which was much needed. It has solved many problems for us and is proving to be useful for both the kids and staff members. Thanks a lot, Nelleke for the thoughtful contribution and we all love you so much.

Manish and Sapna threw a pre-Diwali dance party at KM for the kids which included lots of delicious food. They are supporting KM under the CSR project of their company, Market Xcel. The children had a blast and danced till late in the evening and finished it off with the food that was served.
