*************************<\/p>\n

I am going to India in 2 weeks to teach quilting to 'untouchable' ladies
\n(really, they are quite the same as you and I; it's the Hindu caste system
\nthat teaches this); my intent is to help them learn a skill so that they can
\nbetter support their families, and you can find out a bit more info on my
\nweb site, deborahlancaster.com.<\/p>\n

There are 6 ladies who make the core group – this will be the third time I
\nhave taught them – and we share great love between us, in spite of having no
\nlanguage in common, really; other ladies are brought in from the villages to
\nlearn with us for a week.<\/p>\n
