On Manjula’s birthday she’s provided the meals for elderly people, who might otherwise be destitute, at their ashram/home. The NGO also has a children’s home which we will visit. There are now four benches in two different gardens. Tea and cakes in the park on her birthday
We captured each other’s heart
Cycling Manjula around Mysore
Visiting Bamboo Bazaar slum where Manjula lived as a child. Sharing sweets and showing her photo. I wonder what they think of Manjula now and how her life changed so much. Kanchana’s team have completed a few projects including this patchwork quilt from Manjula’s clothing. It’s designed to go on the wall or the bed. Manjula’s memory tree decorated by our team of old drivers and two young people. Manjula gives BIG photo album (that’s for me) and shopping bags. Manjula’s plaque on the tree outside our door. Manjula gives steel lifetime straws and personalised pens in pouches made from her clothing. Thank you Manjula for being with us on your birthday. I can’t say it often or loud enough and show how much I miss and love you. In the future Manjula’s giving will be to support to specific projects in a sustainable way.
How wonderful- what a series of remembrances. Love the quilt, I assume you will keep it? Ex

Absolutely, all made from her clothing. Was intended as bed cover but think it’ll stay on wall. S x
