Today Charles took me to his NGO Project, Guria Centre a Non-profit in Varinasi red light district where they house 30 or so kids from prostitute families.
These kids are amazing.
Charles has been volunteering for 6 months living in Varinasi, right on the Holy Ganges where they cremate dead bodies. Incredible work, love and energy is thrown in bounds each day working with these children.
Kudos and higest karma to anyone involved in volunteering projects.
Headlocks, stolen kisses and climbing monkeys.. cute overload.
Mayhem and sugar high frenzy would be an understatement. Grabbing at me from all directions, pulling my rings off fingers then replacing, rearranging my bindi and hijacking my camera all at once
was like being in a mini people tornado.
Insanity and little soul beauty all rolled into one!
These Sabres have been entertaining kids all over India. Gifted from my Goddess
AKIRA GARTON aka Stardust, they've been the inspiration for many photoshoot sessions. See here.
After what felt like hours of mini people mania, the kids were
coaxed into sitting position forming rows. Amazingly they obeyed Hindi instruction and were chanted into meditation, eyes closed not allowing to touch one another.
One by one after much fidgeting and tight eyed focus, they all started dropping off into little balls, laying themselves down and curling up in their Saris to rest.
This process pretty much left Katie and I speechless. After megawatt energy and straight up insanity, every child was now in silent meditation lying on the floor.
These children are born from prostitute mothers who work on the same street as the Orphanage, so it's a refuge and home for children to be together as family, learn English and other cirriculum, interact and be loved by the volunteers.
Their energy knows no limits and their cast does not limit their love. Crazy, fun, interested, beautiful and wise beyond their years, old souls in minature form.
An honor to witness the work and dedication the volunteers put into this program and a blessing for every child to be a part of it, in a country where poverty and distress have no bounds.
Wearing Huge smiles all round.
