The Gandhi Event Celebration!

We had such a fabulous time at The Gandhi Event this past Saturday.  All of our months of hard work and planning paid off with such a fabulous turnout - over 600 people!  We are so grateful to our amazing performers!  The Drums Not Guns group got the crowd going and excited which really created a joyful sense of community within the amphitheatre.  The Kuchipudi dancers from Sri Sai Dance Academy inspired the crowd with the beauty of their traditional dance.  It was truly a blessing to watch them perform!  Finally, we'd like to thank Dr. Arun Gandhi and Bethany Hegedus for sharing their heartwarming experiences and perspectives of peace, understanding and harmony.  Your words on what non-violence means were enlightening and it was an experience that attendees are not likely to forget.  Thank you for taking the time to speak to our community and spreading love in our hearts. You truly are Peace Farmers.
