Angel's Choir

Angel's Heaven Choir night was a complete success.

We would like to thank all of you that helped in any big or small ways. The volunteers that painted with the kids, the musicians, jugglers and fire dancers. Thank you to all the people that came to enjoy celebrating life with Angel's Heavens choir.

"No gift is too small."

The evening started around 6 pm with the kids walking from the orphenage to Durbar Square carrying the Choir's banner. The square was already packed with curious people looking at a board decorated with the kids drawings. There was also a couple of camera people from local stations.

Once settled, the choirs sang classic nepale folk songs, accompanied by a Pokhara folk musician. It was their first performance in front of such a large crowd. The children's voices went up to Shiva and Parvati, who were sitting right on the balcony to hear their songs. After about an hour of singing, Alex, a french artist and juggler friends came on the show, followed by a didgeridoo and djembe moment with Bikash, Binod Katwa and Sabindra.

To finish the night in beauty, japanese fire dancers did their magic, illuminating Durbar Square with the smiles of childrens and adults alike.

It was a wonderful night.

See you at next Angel's Heaven's Choir:)

Yesterday's event with St. Angel's Heavenly Choir was a grand success! Featuring a program with the children and their songs, followed by fire-dancers, jugglers and musicians, the total flow of people attending the event was close to a thousand.

A blazing success with a mere four days of active work and two days of advertising, the event with good media presence was a wonderful pilot for raising awareness on the orphanage. Detailed news with photos and videos will be made available momentarily.

A huge thank you to everyone participating in spirit and on the spot — it was wonderful! We love you, folks!

UPF intro movie

Here is the begining of a introduction slide show type movie for UPF. The main focus of this slide show is trying to define what UPF stands for.
In it we can see a few projects in which UPG is involved. Projects are seperated in categories such as:
- Introduction to the country of Nepal
- Celebrating life.
- Helping each others: with Angel's Heaven Nepal orphenage.
- Planting for the future: UPF plantation projects around Nepal.

Enjoy the viewing, and please come with any comments or suggestions for future changes to the movie.

Introduction movie to UPF 2010

And still more food...

As per the plan yesterday, Kiran brought the children at Angel's Heaven orphanage 100+ kilos of raw ingredients to ensure their most essential necessity — food — at a time of financial crisis. Hopefully this is the first in a series of recurring support from the UPF. I can't see why that wouldn't be possible.

There are also plans in the UPF to generate financial support for the remaining children of the orphanage who are yet to be admitted to school. I'm very pleased to see how the hearts of the movers here are touched by the children's needs.

Universal Peace Flow

I started the UPF Internal blog to keep track of all incoming concepts that need to be put on the table and dealt with. While the blog's only really relevant for people working with the UPF in one capacity or other, it's open for all to read.

Please don't be shy to contribute, we need your feedback to make UPF reach its full potential. To dissipate the friction still existing in the Universal Peace Flow... To make our workflow smooth and seamless.
