I just came across some of her writings and photos…I could not stop reading, and we wish to share her moments with you all. http://thephotopond.blogspot.com/
From her blog:
Sandipani Muni School is having a cultural program to celebrate the New Year. When I arrive, girls are busy putting on makeup and costumes. I look for light in the classrooms, which are strewn with articles of clothing and makeup. The fading afternoon sunlight is streaming through the windows, and girls are checking their complexions in the reflections on the windowpanes. Click. So many colors. So beautiful.
This is the India I have always pictured: the bright colors, dance, laughter, celebration. happy, smiling faces. It is the India I still picture, even though I have seen unfathomable poverty in Vrindavan. Yes, there is pain, there is suffering, there is cold and sickness and abuse. But there is a persistent glimmer of joy.

The beginning of a new year.
How fortunate I am to have begun 2007 in India. I start the New Year with a new perspective, based on my experience in Vrindavan over the past month.
I wake early and begin to pack. I feel like I am taking home significantly less than what I came with. Less worry, less stress, less weighing on my heart and mind…
