A Masterful Evening: Farewell Tenafly

Thank you Tenafly! What a wonderful journey of discovery, not just for you, but for me as well. Thank you to Judy Greenwald, Mark Hyman, Jay, the kids and their parents for making all of this not only a possibilty, but a stunning success.

I hope the readers of this blog will come to know Cambodia as these trip participants have. Cambodia is a country with so many needs, it can be overwhelming.... but there also exists a human spirit here which is inspirational and from which we can learn quite a bit in the western world (or at least I should).

Last night, as others have posted below, was a beautiful evening. The children dancers are among the best I have ever seen.... and to know where they live made it all more poignant. Blind Master Kong Nai... I am at a loss for words here... it is hard not to think of him as a Cambodian Ray Charles. The man is remarkable as he makes up pieces as he goes along to include people he has met that evening and old friends in the room. This was a dream come true for me and many in the room to meet him

Farewell, Tenafly... a job well done... congratulations!
