"When you do good work, doors keep opening." We
will give a sincere 110% and let the outcomes take care of
themselves. The joy is in the journey. Page below has info
about the plan for the help the homeless project. Valeri,
Mona, Robin, Guri, Vimi, Karmeshvar, and Viral are some of the
folks helping coordinate this event. Please email questions to homeless@charityfocus.org.
Overview
- Who? Open to all. Since it's short notice, we
need to let all our friends know.
- Why?
Present another opportunity to give. Past experiences
have been very inspiring for all.
- When?
Sunday, February 2, 2003 (10 a.m. to 3 pm)
10 am: Meet at Woodshanti
10 am-noon: Make sandwiches
12-2: Share sandwiches/time
2-3 pm: Meet back to do closing remarks
- Where? Woodshanti: 1485 Bayshore Blvd, SF (415-656-0177)
1485 Bayshore is actually a Sales Mart Office. There is a gate on
the left side of the building that's usually locked on weekends;
we'll try to leave it open but if it's closed by others, use 5757
for the simple combo lock. Shanti's woodshop is all the way behind
the office, in the rear parking lot; it's a white warehouse and
has a sign that says 'WOODSHANTI' over the garage door.

- civic center (10 volunteers)
- tenderloin ( 15+ volunteers)
