Back in Delhi

We returned to New Delhi on April 1 - no joke! We arrived on time despite flying with an airline on strike! And, we zipped right through Immigration, no questions asked (though the official took a little extra time examining Chuck's documents, but stamped him through without comment).

We sadly told our U.S. interns "Good-bye!" on Tuesday (today is Friday). Thanks to them we have some photos to share of the workshops and classes while we were away.

Today we finalized plans for the next series on sculpture classes starting April 20, and made tentative plans for another trip to Sewa Ashram by the end of April. On the latter, we may be accompanied by a journalist from Australia wanting to do a series of short pieces as a lead up to the Commonwealth Games scheduled to begin in Delhi in October! We scheduled a meeting tomorrow to explore an important possibility that might alleviate our visa concerns and expand this last year of piloting into a full schedule of classes and workshops. More on this later as it develops.

For now, some photos of  BRT & Sewa Ashram workshops (class photos to follow in another posting)...
