Fantastic Day at Dunes Holiday Village Goa, Mapusa, Goa
Dear friends, many of you know that a few months ago, I moved to Goa after living in Pune for 29 years. I left Pune with immense gratitude, ready for a new phase of my life, where my priority is spirituality that guides me, the nature that surrounds me, taking care of my dogs, and slowing down my pace so I can experience life in a new way!
On this journey, I reconnected with a friend from the days of the Osho Commune, Anyuta, who introduced me to a quiet hero, Robert. Robert founded an NGO, OUTREACH, which for 20 years has been caring for children from humble backgrounds, helping them study, access essential needs, and much more…
In an effort to bring some lightness and fun into the lives of these children, we organized a day at the beach designed to make them feel loved and supported. Forty-five children, aged 6 to 16, enjoyed a day full of games, a delicious buffet, and lots of joy!
My dear friend Felly Gomes led games with his inimitable energy, and Benjamin led an expressive art session! The children arrived a bit shy and left filled with energy and joy!
Here are photos and videos of this beautiful day!!
If you're curious to learn more about Goa Outreach, you can visit their website here: www.GoaOutreach.org And if you have ideas for supporting OUTREACH, please reach out to Robert or us.
Thank you so much for your support and love!

Diwali Bags, Mapusa, Goa
Diwali, the most celebrated festival in India, is a time of joy, prosperity, and togetherness. It marks the victory of good over evil, symbolized by Lord Rama's return to Ayodhya after defeating the demon king Ravana. The festival is celebrated with great enthusiasm across the country, with homes adorned with colorful lights, lanterns, and rangoli patterns.
At Outreach we celebrate by giving the children a Diwali bag full of rations (Rice, Dal, Oil, Floor, Chocolates, Biscuits and more. This year we hope it will be one of the best yet with 25 different items filling the bags. So far the bags are completed, we now just need to get all the goodies to fill them up ready for our trip to Purple Martini on the 31st.

Smiles made brighter!, Mapusa, Goa
We're so grateful to Purple Martini and Radha Raman Food For Livelihood for their generous support in providing dental care to our children. Thanks to them, we were able to take the kids to the dentist for cleanings, fillings, and even a few bridge procedures. A special thanks to Dr. Sandra for her discounts!
