The cure rate for most childhood brain tumors is significantly lower than that for many other types of cancer, and the public remains unaware of the magnitude of this disease.
Currently, childhood glioma research is grossly underfunded. The glioma family of tumors account for almost 45% of all tumors. They are the second highest cause of cancer deaths among young people. 85-95% of children who are diagnosed with a malignant glioma die within five years. Over 97% of children with the worst of gliomas, diffuse pontine gliomas, die within two years.
This news is devastating to families who are newly diagnosed. In today's world no child should have to suffer from such a horrible disease. No family should have to endure the pain of standing by helplessly as they watch their beautiful, innocent child slowly die from an illness that takes away everything they love in life. Prayers from Maria was built out of love and compassion for these children and their families and the dire need for research.
Prayers from Maria is dedicated to funding global research into the causes, prevention, treatments, and cure for the deadliest childhood brain tumors known as gliomas; raising public awareness about gliomas and bringing hope to children and their families who deal with the hardships of this disease.
We care about where our funding goes. With very little funds available for research, it matters where each of our grants is awarded. It is of the utmost importance that our funding support the most promising research being conducted on gliomas -- wherever that may be. The foundation’s Medical Board consists of top doctors and researchers in the world for gliomas. Funding is awarded based on their professional expertise, experience, and evaluation of grant applications received.
Thanks to the generous support of so many, Prayers from Maria has awarded hundreds of thousands of dollars in grants to research of these deadly tumors in children.

Prayer wheels at the national memorial chörten (stupa) in Thimpu, Bhutan. Taken after dusk, my guide (a guide and driver is mandatory for all non-Indian foreign visitors to Bhutan) spun the wheels just before I took the photo. The fee for the guide and driver is included in the extortionate visa price to visit the land of gross national happiness. Tuesday, when this photo was taken is "Pedestrian Day" every week in Thimpu, when all private vehicles are banned from entering the city center, vehicles carrying tourists are exempt. Locals are encouraged (no,... forced) to walk or bicycle to work that day, when gross national happiness may decline a little bit.

Prayer is when you talk to God;

I almost missed this little guy on my morning me time walk...
Luckily he just sat there in prayer.
Boudhnath Stupa is one of the largest in the world.It is located just outside the formal boundaries of Kathmandu, Nepal. This shot was taken the day before Tibetan New Year. Brand new prayer flags were put up in honour of the New Year.
This trip was arranged by Razzu Tuladha of Samsara Journeys based in Kathmandu, Nepal.
On our way for a day trip to Jordan, we thought this airport policeman reciting the Quran looked interesting in the early morning light (05.33 am).
Although we did not hear the call for prayer at the airport, we could often hear it at our resort in Sharm El Sheikh and pretty much everywhere else we visited. It's quite a mystical experience for most Westerners.
Muslims pray five times a day:
1. Dawn prayer (Fajr)
2. Noon prayer (Dhuhr, Zhuhr)
3. Afternoon prayer (Asr)
4. Sunset prayer (Maghrib)
5. Evening prayer (Isha)
These ancient prayer books are in the Royal Shrine, in the depths of The Palace in Leh.

Of this desolation; and all hearts
Were chill'd into a selfish prayer for light"

last year's beech leaves wave like prayer flags and rattle like sunlit paper lanterns in this afternoon's cold leap day wind
These colourful prayer flags will come to your mind whenever you think of Ladakh and any other Budhist region in the Himalayas.
Prayer flags are inscribed with auspicious symbols, invocations, prayers and mantras. Tibetan Budhists for centuries have planted these flags outside their homes and places of spiritual practice for the wind to carry the beneficient vibrations across the countryside. Prayer flags are said to bring happiness, long life and prosperity to the planter and those in the vicinity.
Traditionally they are fastened to eaves or sewn onto ropes to be displayed horizontally or fastened to wooden poles for vertical display. Sets of five flags should be put in the order: yellow, green, red, white and blue (from left to right or bottom to top).
The colours represent the elements of life: earth, water, fire, cloud and sky.

View LARGE on black and say a little prayer for the people of Haiti who were devastated by a magnitude 7 earthquake on the afternoon of 12 Jan 2010. Their infrastructures were leveled and as much as 100,000 people under the rubbles are feared dead. The presidential palace and the UN Headquarters were also flattened. International rescue and relief operations are difficult to deliver as their airport was paralized due to damages. Of the 175 accounted Filipino volunteers three are still missing and also feared to be among the casualties.
Let's pray for them. GOD BLESS HAITI !!!
