Mahalo to the waters Mahalo to the fish Mahalo to the trees all around Mahalo for you...mahalo for me Mahalo for the mother and the father! ("Sitting in meditation by the pond at Ban Thor Phan, listening to the land waking up with the sunrise, a sweet song arises inside me,  giving expression to the gratitude I feel." (above) -from Dawn Ferguson's journal)	Pure thoughts, pure waters, peace...
	At the heart of the rainbow, our dreams all come true At the heart of the rainbow there is me and there is you. Cosmic Love  lights  the core of our being Live true to her, surrender, trust,  listen All that is.... is here now! ("Song after song births through me as I walk the land here". - Dawn's journal) Dawn Ferguson with Kampanart Buahombura (NART), "father" to all the children living at BTP and Director.  Twenty six children know BTP as home.  Children whose parents were killed or absent for a variety of reasons find great love and support to grow and blossom here. ("It is such a gift to experience the tender loving presence of Nart.....a gentle strength fueled by the power of love." - Dawn journal)

Entrance path to the Global House where international visitors are welcome to come share in Love.	One of the living dwellings....all of them built with love, reflecting respect and a life lived in harmony with nature.

Getting to know one another.  Sharing smiles, songs and the Children's peace bowl.

Creating with nature's provisions, Nart and his wife PU and the children work together to create beautiful fabrics and clothes made from organic cotton and dyes created from the surrounding plants.  Their tenderness and love and hard work produces natural clothing that feels good to wear! They work together to with indigenous people from the Hill Tribe who embroider intricate designs without patterns but rather from the inner worlds of harmony and beauty known through their hearts.
