Hello! Andrew and I have been in Dharamasala about 2 weeks now and having a fab time although didnt expect so many cows, dogs and monkeys in the streets! Last week was the Dalai Lama's birthday so there were 3 days of celebrations; dancing, chanting and praying. We started running a few sesions before the big birthday but have now had a little break. We did a review of Longsho in the SWOT and had 12 leaders attend - which was really great. The main concern currently is the lack of money - Longsho have no money to even plan the smallest event or mailshot really.
We have also looked at structure and giving leaders roles and how the regional chapters would work. Today we are going to look at marketing and raising the awareness of Longsho since there are so many Israelis around which is a great opportunity.
Wishing all the best to Richard and Charlotte - keep in touch. And hope everyone is well especially after the dreadful london events a few days ago. Lots of love Anna xx
