Dear friends & supporters of Aloka Vihara,

Warm greetings from all of us ~ we hope our message finds you well as we begin to emerge from these times of social distancing.

All is well here at the vihara and we are in touch to let you know that our kitchen steward Maria will end her one year of service in mid-July. We are putting out the word to you in the hope that one of you knows someone who might also benefit from such an opportunity.

We are looking for an initial 3 month commitment, which after a review, could be extended to 6 months or 1 year at a time. The steward’s room here at the vihara has a separate entrance and could be used for a 10 day self quarantine if necessary.

A short overview:

• we offer our steward food, lodging, 1 day off per week and most afternoons off.
• we ask our steward to take care of the kitchen (in cooperation with anagarikas & guests), shopping & for participation in our monastic daily schedule.

We are looking forward to hearing from you at <info@alokavihara.org> and trust that the right person will appear at the right time!

Much metta and good wishes,
Ayya Santacitta & AVFM nuns
