Mandala magic has taken us on many adventures, both in the greater world and in the world within ourselves.

Through mandalas we have connected to thousands of people opening and expanding our hearts and inspiring us with the desire to give. 

Many drops of water make a big ocean.

Mandala Magic has joined others to contribute to the wellbeing for those less fortunate. Through the kindness and generosity of every person even the smallest gesture makes the world is a better place.
Donations of money, time and energy, have brought some BIG smiles and many happy hearts.
What begins as a small offering can grow into substantial support for those in need. A helping hand, like ripples in a pond radiates outwards to reach many.

India has the largest illiterate population in the world. Caste disparities, gender discrimination (40% of girls drop out at secondary level) shortages of qualified teachers and absolute poverty are contributing factors.
It is very encouraging to know that five sponsored girls graduated from the Sarnath Village School and commenced BA degrees. They have been given an extraordinary chance in life.

It costs only a $185 a year to sponsor a child – something that changes a whole life!
