ISP multimedia
Tashi Delek Everyone,
We are at the very end of our time in Dharamsala, and after ISP presentations and homestay farewell dinner on Friday, we take off on Saturday to the Golden Temple in Amritsar, then back to Delhi on Wednesday when we fly out to Ladakh. But, before we go, here are a few glimpses of what the students have been working on in the ISPs:
Haley has been working with her Jewelry Gegen La (teacher) for two weeks now, and has already made several pieces of jewelry. Here she is putting a few finishing touches on a pendant.
In one of his ISPs, Eliot is interviewing members of the Tibetan exile community to collect their stories of Tibet and coming to India. He has accrued quite a collection so far and we are looking forward to his ISP presentation tomorrow.
All of the students are going to one or two English conversation classes throughout the day. This one is held by an NGO called Learning and Ideas for Tibet. The topic of the day was 'dreams'. You can see Margie in blue and Eliot is hidden in the masses.
Jeremy explains a few of the different notes a tabla player utilizes, then gives a demonstration.

WOW! I am running out of superlatives! I LOVED all the videos - can't wait to see Haley's jewelry up close, so nice to see her enthusiasm and enjoyment of her ISP! Great to see Margie gettin' down with the dancing and the energy of the Conversational English classes! Eliot's interviews sound amazing - it's obvious he is really learning and thinking about the people he is meeting. And Jeremy, I'm so looking forward to seeing your Tabla and hearing you play it! Thanks for the demonstration! Your farewell dinners in Jaipur and Dharamsala looked like delightful events to commemorate the wonderful hospitality you received! Your adventures are amazing!! Love, Mom/Ann
