I spoke with Dawa, our guide from india, today. He said when we parted he left the airport and went back to the hotel and just *looked* at our picture from the Taj for a long time. He also had a cold and it took him several days to get over it. In fact, he left a message on Saturday and I barely recognized his voice! But today he sounds like the same cheerful Dawa we know.
He plans to move to a new place over the next few weeks, so the address on his card will not be valid. In the meantime, we can send things along to Middle Path travels in his care if we have anything for him. The address is listed below.
Dawa enrolled in English class this week to better prepare for our visit next year, and he will be starting a 6-week course in January. If he likes the school, he will continue. Otherwise he will select another school. He also plans to get an email account this week and will send us his new postal address soon.
Please be advised when sending things to India, many or all get opened and searched. If you send money, it will be taken by those folks searching. Dawa has a very small space -- one room with shared bath. So please plan accordingly if you send a care package.
Many of you have expressed interest in helping to bring Dawa over for a visit. I feel it is important to have him over here for a meeting to plan our 2011 trip and to more deeply orient him to Alignment Yoga principles. I have added writing a letter (so he can get a visa) to my project list and will keep you up to date as we progress.
