Peter Jordan

We consider this young man of 70 (and whatever plus is anybody’s guess) from Canada who has been part of Balamitra since its conceptual birth, as our Ambassador and Godfather. He has been eagerly trying to connect Balamitra to the Waldorf schools in Canada. His undying humour, contribution and interest in the happenings at Balamitra are always encouraging and inspires us to drive ahead in top gear. Our gratitude to the continued strength of this young volunteer.
