Who knew at the beginning of the year a phone call would change my life, give me the opportunity to meet His Holiness the Dalai Lama and work with such an amazing group of people? After spending much time at home recuperating, I decided to call Karuna and offer my services as a volunteer. To my surprise they said yes.
The first day I walked down the corridor of Karuna, tears welled in my eyes, I felt an overwhelming sense of coming home, I knew I was in for many changes and the beginning of a new chapter in my life. Who new just how much would change!
So I found myself working with the amazing Priscilla and assisting her in organising the volunteers for the big event, His Holiness’s public talk at Boondal. Wow, what an honour to work with Priscilla, a fountain of knowledge and at times my rock and shoulder, I can’t begin to thank her enough for all she has given me.
And now I have been given the honour of staying on as a fulltime staff member, working in clinical administration, thank you YK, Kay, Priscilla and everyone for giving me this opportunity. Here’s to becoming a member of this great Karuna Family.
Love and blessings,
Sharon.
