View this email in your browser Namaste, Hope you are doing well! Our Balvihar is doing very well with the virtual sessions and all the credit goes to the excited students and wonderful teachers who have adjusted and flourished so well! April 26th Akshaya Tritiya was going to be our field trip to either Jain Temple, Sikh Gurudwara or any other place of worship so that we may learn more and enrich ourselves. But we have all learned that we can take a pause and detour within ourselves to start a wellness approach. We start a family, bring kids in to this fold and teach them what we know of life. We improvise, evolve and grow along with our children. Whether we appreciate our time tested culture or adapt to new ways, the commonality is that we believe in the universal goodness. Share, Love, Accept, Kindness. We all want our families to do well, grow and spread more goodness in the world. We want a beautiful world for our children to grow in. With that as our cornerstone, HTS Balvihar has planned a Charity Drive. Our 15 Balvihar graduates have been given handful of contacts of Balvihar Families and one of these young students will be giving you a call. They will request you to donate an amount of your choice, payable to Hindu Temple Society by using the http://www.hindutemple-lehighvalley.org/ and clicking on the Donate button on the right hand side of your screen.  Follow these instructions * Donate thru the website as usual, with a valid email that you use often. * You will receive an automated email confirmation of the amount. * Please forward this email to HTSTreasury@gmail.com, and copy HTSBalvihar@gmail.com.

So please be patient with them!  How we behave during times of distress shows the children our values. A lot of our Balvihar Families are already supporting many organizations as volunteers, donors and supporters. We thank you, admire you and follow you.
