HAPPY DIVALI TO OUR INDIAN FRIENDS

I like to wish all LYNers a Happy New Year.

For this coming new year, I hope all of us can become more compassion and loving to one another without discrimination of any kind as to race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status.

I like to share a touching video (snippet) from Journeyman Pictures about the plight of untouchables in India.

Video Summary:

June 2008
Toji, Vidhya and Bency are three beautiful and charismatic young girls living with HIV in Kerala, India. Orphaned by the deaths of their AIDS infected parents, disowned by their extended families and ostracised by their communities, their grandmothers struggle to care for them. We follow these charming girls as they talk openly and eloquently about the daily hurdles they face. A film about human resilience in the face of the greatest obstacles.
