contribute about $18,000 to programs and projects that help disabled and poor
families suffering from the legacies of war:
cluster munitions, landmines and other unexploded ordnance, and Agent
Orange. We’re asking friends to join us with your own donations, in any
amount you choose, to increase the total amount raised and enable us to help
more families. </span></p>

how some brave American veterans of the war in Vietnam have found resolution
and healing by coming back to the place their country devastated, to help heal
the legacy of the war. The amazing forgiveness and optimism of the Vietnamese
people as they welcome these former enemies with open arms is the most potent
form of therapy for the Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome and the guilt which made
the lives of many U.S. veterans so painful when they returned home.</span><span style="font-size:12pt"></span></p>

(Panky) Brooke spent a year studying at the very first London Film School and
wrote four published novels before taking sannyas in the early seventies. She
has been part of Osho’s communes, mainly in Pune, until Osho left his body.
After several years travelling around various parts of the world she settled
back in London. Now that it is possible to shoot and edit an entire film by
oneself she has resumed that longed for career. Her films have been shown at
film festivals round the world, a couple receiving a Special Mention.</span><span style="background-image:initial;background-repeat:initial"> Website:</span></em><b><i><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(51,51,51);background-image:initial;background-repeat:initial"> </span><span style="background-image:initial;background-repeat:initial"> </span></i></b><b><i><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:black;border:1pt none windowtext;padding:0in;background-image:initial;background-repeat:initial"><a href="http://www.pankajabrooke.com/" target="_blank">pankajabrooke.com</a>.</span></i></b><span style="font-size:12pt;background-image:initial;background-repeat:initial"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt"><i><br></i></p>
