There is fun activity and seva opportunity for children and adults to make garden markers for the ashram's community garden.

The kids and adults will have an opportunity to make garden markers for the MA Center Community Garden and Amma's Orchard, as well as watch profesional potters make pots on a wheel. A real art! The 300 pots we are making on this day will be used for the Sani Pujas Amma has asked Dayamrita Swami to perform here at the MA Center, starting next Fall. The Shiva Lingam is on its way from India!

Oct 18: Hiking with Kids

Time: 2 pm

The Bala Kendra families have been invited to participate in 'Hiking with Kids' at Sunol Regional park (http://www.ebparks.org/parks/sunol) on Sunday, October 18th @ 2 pm.

There are many, many miles of beautiful trails to explore very close to our city, so lets get out there with kids and take a hike!

It can be a little challenging for the kids but very rewarding when they get on the little bench located on a hill overlooking the entire valley. We will be choosing the trial that will be ideal for the children of all ages and also for the parents who are hiking for the first time.
