Family Fun Walk
Our heartiest thanks to Kishore Harsiani for organizing a family walk to the Watford Temple on Sunday the 9th October 2011. In a short time the participants managed to raise over £2000. Thanks to all those who attended especially the young members Jaishulin aged 8 and Riva aged 6. Also our special participant Kush who is 17 and is autistic managed to join us for the second leg of the walk. Kush did not even know why he was walking but he just carried on and his innocence inspired us all. As Kishore said this is a lovely opportunity for the whole family to join in a fun filled healthy activity while raising funds for the needy and at the same time raising our spiritual awareness. I can't think of a better way to spend a Sunday.

Radlett Centre 2008
Another musical concert was held on the 9th August 2008 at The Radlett Centre Theatre. It was a concert to celebrate the lives of our loved ones. It was a way to demonstrate that we can channel the energy of grief into positive directions without forgetting to celebrate our own lives. The songs were spiritual but also musically highly entertaining. We also had very encouraging feed back from the audience regarding the event and the work that I J F is carrying out.
