Sacred Tree from India



Hallo again

Children (girls) at the Sandipani Muni School, Vrindavan, India are making sacred trees, and a friend sent me one of these. The children are the poorest of the poor, and they are doing this is to raise money for their education at school. The trees are called "Kalpa Vriksha Trees" made from old copper wire, with amethysts and other gems strung onto the end of the wire. The wooden beads are made fron the Tulsai Devi tree, a very sacred tree in India. I think it is very beautiful, don't you?

Maybe you too can create a sacred tree, which represents your country. Use any kind of craft.

Their website is: http://www.fflvrindavan.org

Cheers
