#157 – September 4, 2024 — Mitti Seva Ahead!

Dear Friends,


It’s been another special summer of seva at Ishwar’s dera in northern Wisconsin. The lucky volunteers have been blessed with the exceptional opportunity to serve Ishwar through their service in the Prashad Garden and other landscaping and construction projects. If you haven’t had a chance to participate this year, no worries, two more months remain in the seva program.

There are two ways you can participate in volunteer work at the dera:

Mitti Seva = September 20-23, 2024. Plus, there will be a special ceremony at the dera Meeting Hall construction site on the weekend.

Open Seva = You can choose your own dates and attend when it is convenient for you, anytime until about November 1.

In either case, please let us know when you will be visiting by emailing dera.seva@ishanews.org
