Seva Cafe Comments… from India

Posted on

As many of you know, the Seva Cafe in Long Beach was inspired by the original Seva Cafe in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India.  Our partner in service from across the seas, Nitesh Jain, will be sending us updates from the original Seva Cafe.

Here are some comments that were added recently to the comment book in India:

I am speechless about this restaurant. Beyond a miracle – the most amazing spectacle of personal dedication that I have ever witnessed with my own eyes in my life. Love to all who work on this ‘great project’

Kite flying at the Walk for Hope

Posted on

Afghanistan Relief Organization asks you to go fly a kite!
(And, we mean that in the best possible way.)

“Hope is knowing that people, like kites, are made to be lifted up.”

Traditional Afghan kites fly to celebrate the spirit of hope at the annual Walk for Hope, September 23, in the El Dorado Regional Park in Long Beach, California.  The Afghanistan Relief Organization (ARO) is a beneficiary of the Walk for Hope and will offer traditional Afghan kite flying and kite-making demonstrations.  Afghan kites—known as “Gudiparan” or the “flying doll”—will be available to the public through donations for education and relief work in Afghanistan.

Kite flying is a beloved neighborhood and community sport that has returned to Afghanistan in recent years.   ARO will feature over 200 kites brought from Afghanistan by ARO relief volunteer and independent filmmaker, Masoud Farand, and relief volunteer Hassib Khalili.      » Read more
