Power of Compassion
Come join our Circle of Friends at Krishen and Geeta Mehta's beautiful Upper East Side apartment to enjoy tasty Tibetan and Indian food--and to help raise funds for a sustainable gardens project for the Jhamtse Gatsal Children's Community in Lumla, India, just across the border from Bhutan and Tibet.
WHEN: Thursday, February 17, 6:30pm to 8pm
WHERE: The home of Krishen and Geeta Mehta in the Savoy Building, 200 East 61st Street (between Second and Third Avenues), apartment 25AB
WHAT: A fundraiser and discussion, with a Tibetan and Indian buffet-style dinner and presentation of a new, heartfelt agricultural project we are supporting. The goal is to make Jhamtse Gatsal self-sustaining in fruits and vegetables, which will work wonders for the health of its children.
A $45 donation is kindly requested for admission.

THE SUSTAINABLE GARDENS OF JHAMTSE GATSAL
Jhamtse Gatsal Children's Community, a small orphanage and school in remote northeastern India, in the southern Himalaya, needs $6,000 to enclose its tillable land. If this cropland can be protected, allowing the full yield, Jhamtse Gatsal will become self-sustaining in terms of fruits and vegetables, and the children will not require regular doses of expensive vitamins to keep healthy.
In addition, the project will act as a positive agricultural demonstration for the approximately 150 villages of the Lumla District. Jhamtse Gatsal will not only become self-sustaining in its own food supply, but will demonstrate the agricultural practices that can make the entire region self-sufficient in food, including the use of organic fertilizers, terracing, inter-cropping, greenhouse gardening, and harvesting of rain water.
