Attached Charts May Be of Some Use or Interest To You

Posted by: "John Kimbrough" [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Dear Friends,

The attached chart is being sent to you because of our
relationship or your implied and or directly stated
interest in Yoga, Buddhism or spiritual development.

The chart is a copy of the chart that I have been
using in my teaching recently in the prison in
Cambodia though that one has been translated into the
Khmer language.

I have found that this chart has been a real asset in
explaining the teachings and disciplines of Buddhism
to the men there and thought that you might also find
it useful.

Yours in Yoga,

John

Update on Yoga, Buddhist and English Education Projects in Cambodia

Update on Yoga, Buddhist and English Education
Projects in Cambodia – November 10th, 2006

This writer has just completed a thirty - day period
of volunteer work in Cambodia. It was his fortieth
such trip over the last four years. Another such trip
of equal length will be embarked upon during the first
week of December of this year.

The purpose of this essay and posting is to give those
people who have provided donations and financial
support for this work and other interested parties a
status report on that work, how it is progressing,
what we continue to learn from it and what our
objectives are for the immediate future and in the
long - run.

· Yoga and Buddhist education in the prison – This has
been our core work for the last year and there has
been a lot of progress made with the teaching of this
class. This includes using a prisoner to act as a
translator for the teacher and the teacher now having
good enough Khmer language ability to teach the class
on his own. We also use a chart written in Khmer to
assist us in teaching about Yoga and Buddhism and have
recently brought in a Khmer Buddhist monk to assist
with teaching the classes on a daily basis.

· Teaching Yoga to those individuals who have been
made handicapped by land mines, accidents or through
birth – This class is held two times a week on an
irregular basis because the learners are not always
available for learning. This is because the center
that trains them does not always have learners
attending classes and courses throughout the year.
Also, learners sometimes do not wish to attend classes
because they find the classes to be too demanding. We
may make some adjustments in teaching these classes in
the year 2007, when they will start again.

· Prison amenity fund – This fund provides hats,
dictionaries, clothing and food for needy prisoners
who lack these things or may benefit from having them.

· Student support and amenity fund – This fund
provides hats, clothing, dictionaries and other
material support for low-income learners, mostly those
who come from villages and farming families to
complete their secondary school education in
Sereisophan, the provincial capital for Banteay
Meanchey Province. This may also include things such
as providing gas canisters for cooking food on,
providing money for repairing bicycles, and providing
wholesome activities for young students away from
their family, home and village to engage in and help
them relax from the stress of their studies and life.

· English language teaching – In this work, we provide
free instruction and assistance to those learners who
wish to improve their English language ability. This
is done through one on one teaching and learning,
short special courses to small classes and formal and
informal classes for small groups of Khmer learners.

· English language teacher training – In this work, we
provide information, advice and training on an
informal basis to those Khmer individuals who wish to
become English language teachers in the future.

Immediate and long - term objectives of our work:
· Provide a house and safe, secure and comfortable
home for selected learners from the villages so that
they can concentrate on their studies. We think that
the yearly fee for such a house will be about five
hundred U.S. dollars
· Continue to teach Yoga and Buddhism to the prisoners
in the local prison while at the same time making an
effort to enlarge the educational programs that can be
made available to the men.
· Continue to work to networking with other
organizations and people that do similar work in
assisting the Khmer people.
· Continue to work to the setting up of some kind of
legally recognized organization that will allow us to
expand our work to other prisons and also apply for
funding.

We continue to be in need of donations in order to
continue with our work and build on it in a positive
and evolving manner. If you wish to make a donation,
please contact this writer at johnckimbrough@yahoo.com
or look over the remittance instructions which have
been attached.

Thank you once again for your attention and interest
in this work.

Yours in Yoga,

John
