After our group practice of Sengye Menla today at the new centre, 9 of us held a useful discussion on the “Live to Love” project. Some of us were keen to go as a group to a L2L activity, whilst others felt that they would like to do something as an individual, since they may have a specialist skill or interest, or just want to stay in their local area. There were plenty of ideas - people had already put some serious research into the matter - working with homeless charities, hospices, shopping & caring for the elderly were the favourites. There had been some interesting projects suggested - a “soup kitchen” near the centre on Trafalgar Square sounded promising. Terese reported that many organisations wanted more commitment than just one day per month, particularly as weekends are more easily staffed than weekdays.
Some may not have to look far - The Druk White Lotus School team need a lot of help at the moment, needing a fluent french speaker to contact sponsors in France, a liason officer for a forthcoming event in London, an ebay shop administrator, web updater, trust funding researcher… We managed to fill most of these posts on the spot, which will hopefully ease the pressure at the Bickley office.
