THE MANDALA PROJECT:
Mandalas in Armenia

APRIL 2006 / Yerevan, Armenia / Lori Bailey Cunningham

Mandala Workshop:
Orran Community Center

Saturday, March 18, 2006
This was a wonderful opportunity for me to lead a Mandala Project workshop with kids and elderly folks in Yerevan. We had great fun making a Community Mandala, dancing and hanging out. Orran is providing a much needed service to children and elderly people in need of all types of assistance - education, food, clothing and especially love and care. Read more about what they are doing here.
