Are you getting more friends for me?

Aditya loves to ask this question, and of course, he is referring to his grown up friends who play with him as part of our Son Rise program.

(Did we tell you that we think he would love to be in the Son Rise playroom all his waking hours... if we could find and train so many volunteers!)

After our intensive in September 2010, we have had a tremendous response to our search for volunteers. Before that wonderful week, we mostly believed volunteers do not exist, at least in the relatively "expensive" region where we live.

In that one week, as much as Aditya changed, WE CHANGED because we began believing in miracles that we humans create by simply make-believing things, and then finding ways to make them happen!

Thus, within a month of returning from our Intensive, we found a wonderful volunteer in "Adin". Another volunteer is about to join us... she is currently in training. And then... a 65 year old gentleman showed interest as well and may be joining us a few months later. A few other people showed interest as well. Overall, the number of people calling us about our program in the last 2 months has now surpassed the number of people who called in the 12 months before our intensive.

What has changed that this is happening? Most likely, the only thing that has changed between then and now, is the attitude with which we are approaching our search.

So when our son asks "Are you getting more friends for me?" we enthusiastically say, "we are trying our best" and continue to believe that we are going to find even more amazing volunteers!
