One of my best friends has been a "detainee" for almost a year now, as he waits for the judge to re-approve his release and be given political asylum. He asks me to send him cartoon characters/music/books/$$ and all that. I send him mad pics of cartoons so that he can draw and make some $$ while inside. Here is just a snippet of some of the stuff I sent him in the last letter. Big ups to my boy CESAR... you going to be out soon hermano!
These photos came from an NYtimes article on an ashram in India that serves food to over 1,000 people daily for free. 3 Meals served daily! Everyone volunteers, men and women work side by side. I traveled to India and great places like this show why I loved this country so much! (the image below i remember mentioned these men working around the clock, almost all are walking barefoot)
This is a flick taken a block away from my old hood, of a famous Bushwick Intersection "Knickerbock and Dekalb," taken by a nytimes reader and sent in. Check out the slideshow of the damage. Kansas in Brooklyn.
