Letter from May Gabriel from London to the children of Bicak and Ngunut

Hi, My name is May Gabriel and I used to live in Bantul, Indonesia. I then moved to London, England when I was around 4 years old. Early this July I did a speech to raise money for you. We raised quite a lot. How are you all? I have asked Sari to ask you if you could write some letters and draw some pictures here is a picture I have drawn:

It represents world love (the heart) and world peace (the dove). I hope you like it!Well I’m just going to tell you a bit about my life, I live in a BIG city called London and a go to a girls only school (who helped me raise the money) I am 11 years old and I am moving into year 7 in school.

I have 1 brother called Serador who is 13. My mum is from another BIG city called Liverpool and my dad comes from Indonesia. I like tying ribbons in my hair and I also like going on the computer. My favourite subjects in school is Art and Computing. Here is a picture of me:

At my school we also do meditation. I have had my mantra for around 7 or 8 months.
