We re-visited the dog pound area on the 26th, October, 2008 in Thimphu. On our last visit we realized that the feed bowls for the dogs in the dog pound area in Meme Lakha was not enough for the dogs. Some dogs which were sick or were small did not get enough food as the bigger ones were stronger and faster to eat all the food in the already existing bowl. A survey was carried out to see which ones would be beneficial and durable for the dogs. After the survey it was decided that wooden trough will be the perfect choice.
Rinchen Namgyal (ADC member) personally worked very hard to arrange the wood and to carve the wood. The ADC members contributed money for the charge of the making the trough, transportation cost and food for feeding the hungry dogs and were very active in arranging the trough in the pound and also by feeding the dogs.

After a positive meeting with some of the London sangha at a café in Paddington station Jigme Pelmo (Sandrine) and I went off in search of London’s homeless to offer them food and hot tea. At Waterloo station we met two young homeless people sitting outside, we offered them both sandwiches, cake and a cup of tea. They were very grateful and obviously hungry.
Later we met another homeless lady at Euston station, she told us about the government’s plan of putting them into hostels where they are given free food and £10 a week (£10 seems an impossibly small amount of money for all the essential items one needs) so we gave her some money as well as sandwiches and cake; she said she was trying to get her own accommodation and to find a job. All the homeless we met seemed to be quite hungry so we were not convinced that they are receiving enough food. One of the homeless we met was clearly on drugs, probably heroine, so giving her money would not necessarily be a good idea, another young guy looked as if he had not been homeless very long and seemed lost and frightened; all of these homeless were in their early twenties.
We will continue to look into other ways that we might be able to help the homeless other than providing food and money.
We are also seeking to expand our live2love activities into life release in and around London.

On Saturday, October 18th it was in the annual sale of old stock day in Paris 14th ward and it is there, in the early hours, that we gave us RDV to install our selling area there. Some boards and trestles were enough for creating a space which would be, for day, the theater of our sales.
We had only not enough time to organize this event but the enthusiasm the mere evocation of the project gave rise to, encouraged us to continue.

Live to Love in the Black Forest
This sunday we have been in our animal home again, Tara and me cleaned 2 rooms for babycats, in one room all the cats have diarrhoe, so cleaning their toilets was quite something. Cause the little ones liked to play very much we had much fun.
After that work we went out for a walk with a dog who was very happy to run and smell everything along the road.
Senge was repairing a dog shelter for the whole morning and has to continue that for the next times. Marion, the lady of the home was happy to see us, cause she was alone today with all the dogs, cats and other animals. The donation of Jigme Dron and Jigme Rigzin from Hamburg gave us the feeling of being united all over Germany and was well appreciated by the staff of the animal home.
We are thinking of extending our Live to Love activity by taking care of an old men or woman in the old peoples home, who has no relatives any more. We will tell you next time, if this is possible.
Lot`s of Love from Jigme Chokyi Senge, Peldron and Tara

We re-visited the Yee Ran Jing Sheh Handicapped Children Home in Bukit Mertajam, but for a few members, this was their first visit. To read about the background information of the home, please refer our previous report in April 2008.
Prior to the visit, we have checked with the Home what they need, and we collected some used pants and some food supplies for them. Some members donated cash to the organization seeing that the cost of running such organization is considerably high as they need to employ quite a number of helpers to take care of the 55 children and adults living there. Furthermore they have yet to obtained approval for their application for government subsidies.

The live to love activity was held at the centre. We asked Drupbön Nawang the permission to plant trees on the land of the centre in order to replace the trees that had to be cut because of the constructions. He accepted and told us about one of His Holiness’s wish to create a park near the meditation garden so that people could go there for a walk.
We decided to raise funds for it and thanks to the generosity of some people and of the centre, we achieved to buy 19 trees. Jean-Pierre, the volunteer who is in charge of the garden, did once again a very good job as he prepared everything for us. He selected the trees, drew a path in the grass with the motor-mower and chose the locations where to plant the trees.
