On the 21st October in the beautiful surrounds of the Karm Marg home we put on a show of many acts of comedy, skill, poise and magic. It was a fantastic event that all enjoyed very much. Unfortunately we were all performing so we don’t have any pictures but we do have a video. An edited version will be on the website as I get the time.
The day was a Hindu festival called Dassera, so as it got dark the children burnt the image of Ravana (a ten headed god of Lanka) – much like we burn Guy Fawkes. His crime was to steal Ram’s wife Seta and take her to Sri Lanka. After the burning the Bollywood music started blaring and we danced, hands in the air, with the children.
On another note the Karm Marg home is a long way from the nearest internet access, so please be patient with replies to any emails.
