My husband, Dewa Haley, and I, Jeanetta Monosoff Haley, are from the USA (Oregon, California, and New Mexico) and living in Ganeshpuri Maharashtra for over 9 years.
We came to volunteer at this NGO, Shree Nityananda Education Trust (SNET), created by our meditation teacher, Mark Griffin of Los Angeles area, a devotee of Nityananda Bhagwan and Swami Muktananada. We were asked to take care of the trust and its property in 2008.
Following is a short summary of our work. Please read more about the outreach of our Trust and how anyone can participate in our new website:

SNET was founded in 2005 to provide basic educational, health, and agricultural support to impoverished communities in the Tansa River Valley. SNET strives to provide inspiration and hope to these communities through programs that encourage individuals and groups to become self-sustaining. Over the past eleven years we have identified 31 villages for which we concentrate our work of:
