No news is good news... well, that's typical Bram not giving me a call or sending me a sms, or even better, sending me an email from an internet café. Because I'm sure there are PLENTY of them in Dehli. Well, some things never change. "You cannot teach an old dog to sit" is a swedish saying ;-) They guyg should be sound asleep, probably after a few cold Singhas (is that the indian beer brand?). Tomorrow they fly to Leh, then rest for two days and get used to altitude. Time for sightseeing too and hopefully time for an email...In the meantime, let me post some news from and about the Haiti orphanage, the Rainbow House! I'm proud to announce that we have now 12 sponsors and rumours travel that we might have a school in holland picking up on our initiave and joining. That is just AWESOME! There were bad news this morning on CNN about looting picking up, especially targeting orphanages, since they think they might find food and drink there. Hard to imagine that a situation get so desperate that you turn to stealing and using violence against already such vulnerable children. Total anarchy. I hope it was just an incident, it seems help is now trickling into port-au-prince, hopefully avoiding more violence.
I also received a new message from Diane who's in daily contact with the Rainbow House, I'll finish todays entry with her kind words. Tenebo.... xxxx Jenny
"Quote": It's a small world - Hello Jenny, got up and read your message of the day, one of my best friend, and also my boss, is in New Delhi for 4 days this week, she left Montreal on monday night and is flying back tonight or tomorrow. What is so special about this, she was there only 4 days, first time in her life, she is the one who asked me 6 years ago to find an ONG she could send a corporate donation, that would be safe and to make sure the money would be used for the cause, that is when I reconnected with Danielle in Haïti, Elise was the catalyst between me and the MAEC. Elise and Bram are crossing each other in India, without even being conscious of this, like all of us they are part of the '' grand team '' of people helping the children of the MAEC. Elise is an amazing woman, I now know that Bram will reach his goal safely ! À bientôt from Quebec Canada ! X0X

A new adventure, a new horizon opening its door, starting tomorrow January 21! Bram, leaves with companions Tim and Arno, for the frozen river "Chaddar" trek in the Indian region of Ladahk. An 19-day trip, to experience an almost forgotten world, hidden far into the himalayas, called the Zanskar valley. The extreme and long winter, closes the acces to and from this valley for 8 months. Except for a window opening up the access in the middle of the winter for 2 months, when the river freezes up enough to allow the people of Zanskar to travel down by foot to do their trades in Leh.
