Placing Dates
We are looking forward to placing dates on this page for up coming events that are in mind but still in the building stage. Our intentions are wide, varied and most of all, they are great fun for the children to witness, enjoy and in many cases take part in.
Past event
Tess Burrows and the Southern Lights Race team have successfully planted our Gesar Foundation Flag at the North Pole
Following the great success of Fwog Pwince. Joan Diamond and the Gesar Drama company are in rehearsals for their next success.
North Pole (past event)
Rima Chai is off on her journey to walk to the North Pole in March and our Gesar Flag is ready for her to place in the ground when she arrives. We were very fortunate when Steve Horsey from Arien Signs came along with his offer of a free flag. Steve is a wonderful character who soon picked up on the spirit of Gesar and Rima's journey of endurance. Anybody needing signs of any description, we at Gesar recommend you to visit Steve @ www.ariensigns.co.uk or mail him directly @ sales@ariensigns.co.uk We all wish Rima well and a safe journey with a safe return. We look forward to seeing her again soon and to hearing all the stories of her time in natures fridge. Don't forget the camera!
Pictures above. We have not got a picture of Steve so thought a picture of his company logo would have to do. This logo is on our Gesar official flag seen to the right.
Queens Theatre (past event)
On Febuary 9th 2008. Our children who attend the Gesar Drama Club in Bideford Devon England had a wonderful day behind the scenes at the Queens theatre in Barnstaple. Joan Diamond, the children's parents and all the youngsters would like to say thank you to the theatre staff for organising such a joyful day out for the young ones who were thrilled by the experience. A big harty thank you goes to Debbie Cook and the Landmark Trust for their generosity.

Dominika Baran
Armada
There is at present no information for this page. We look to the future when all the conditions are there and present for us to report on a wonderful feat by all who will man join in and make this adventure something all will remember with great joy.
Wish Fulfilling Tree
Wish Fulfilling Tree
We are looking forward to many events built around our children's Anthem, indeed there has already been many.
As a result of writing this piece we have been introduced to a host of good friends, all have added to the future of Wish Fulfilling Tree and by doing so have contributed to the safe and harmoneous future for children.
The children's Anthem has been recorded by our Dorje, George Lenoudius, and also by Rima Chai. It is Rima's version that will soon appear on Youtube.
Jazz Festival
It is our wish at the Gesar Foundation to always set a fine living example to children, so they will be themselves in a position to set the same example to children in the future.
When somebody helps us, it is only right that we should have it in mind to say thank you and to look to help them at some future time.
It is with this asperation that we look to stage at Tapeley Park, the Gesar Foundation Jazz Concert.
When Dorje and Pawo first wrote It's A Dirty Business, Sam Eastmond and his band stepped in to arrange and record it. This has been of great benefit to the children and we look forward to the day when we can say thankyou and celebrate the teams kindness and generosity together.
Remember we need an events manager before this can manifest.....
Tapeley Park
Tapeley Park will also be the venue of our Gesar friends’ gatherings in the coming year. This will be a wonderful opportunity for friends to meet, children to play in a safe environment and to relax in the beautiful North Devon surroundings with beach and coast line.
Aardvarks Reunited
Members of our Gesar charactors have been very busy with their events as they have headed off to the North and South Poles.
I am looking for suggestions of what I may do myself to add to their wonderful list of self achievement...Any safe but funny ideas are welcome!
Lets all congratulate Rima Chai, for not only being a great explorer and taking our flag to the North Pole but for also being the very first woman to record the children's anthem Wish Fulfilling Tree.
This was a very brave and courageous thing for Rima to do. In her own words, she found it nerve wracking.
Enquiries
Please keep in mind that the GesarFoundation are always seeking new friendships with skilled and qualified people who are wishing to take on a regular activity where children will benefit.
This may be drama as Joan Diamond has so successfully achieved in Devon England, dance, singing, chess or any other positive hobby, pass time that is wholesome for our youngsters.
When we look at the wonderful achievements of our patrons in the arts, We wonder why so few are inspired to further this department within Gesar. Perhaps so many of us are already busy but in the meantime keep us in mind for the future and we look forward to hearing from you when you are ready to take a regular event on.
Your Ideas
When your own ideas formulate of what you and your family may do for Gesar, then write in and we will immediately tell others by posting the news.
We can all be an inspiration to others so what are you thinking? What ideas are surfacing? Let us know.
Have confidence that what you believe counts. We have instances of enthusiastic friends that have made suggestions and offerings that have not developed but this is OK. Perhaps they will in future. We must be patient with our friends. This is what kindness means. Not all people are ready to act immediately. All things have there moment.
The important thing is to not let our children down once we have started with a commitment. With the help and encouragement of Gesar friends, all will be well.
