Sikh Virsa in Western Countries

Disturbed by the News in Outlook India, back in October of 2006, I kept looking for something positive that somehow erases the memory of that picture in the news.
With His Kirpa; since then I have witnessed so much positive going on in US Sikh community that now I can read this news without my eyes getting wet and in my heart I know that it is the Guru's will. One of events I recently attended is 'Sahibjada Rememberance Day' observed by Gurdwara Riversidein which children of IIGS school participated. I consider myself blessed for being able to do sewa of teaching these students. Here are the pictures and small report on these children's Chardi Kala.
