Thank you all for bringing so much love to my mom…at Seva!

She kept letting me know how much love she felt at the cafe and how it was nice to see everyone so full of life and service. She was very touched…and it was so neat to watch so much thoughtfulness expand and expand to an amazing level throughout the eve.

And you just made her birthday…was really July 28th but I didn’t get to see her until this weekend…phenomenal!

I’m so lucky 2 know all of you. Thanx for the sweetness and kindness u give…to all of us and to the planet.

Namaste and love always,

Gianna :)

(a story from Manuri’s 8th grade teacher)

As a teacher all my students are special in their own way, but I’ve formed a special bond with just a few. Manuri was in my ELD English Newcomer class when she first arrived in the U.S in the 8th grade, and she was one of those students that you couldn’t help but love. Bellflower High School is kind of unique in that students attend there from 7th grade through graduation, so we get to watch our students change from shy little middle school students to confident young men and women. I feel truly blessed that I have also had the opportunity to continue to know Manuri after High School, and I’m so proud of the woman that she has become. She is truly beautiful inside and out. She has the type of beauty that can only come from a loving spirit. It glows from inside out. I’m so happy that she has become a humanitarian and shares her love with others. » Read more
