HEARTLAND MEMORIAL INITIATIVE UPDATE
The Heartland Memorial Initiative has been wholly dedicated to securing access to Baba‘s sacred sites in and around Prague. Since its formal launch in November, we’ve been gratified to see the growth in appreciation of the Initiative.
Over 1,000 people have viewed the film “Prague Hospital Memorial: A Tangible Link to the Eternal.” We have also now raised over $400,000 toward our $1.5 million fundraising goal in the form of donations and pledges. Though we still have some distance to go, the response from so many in our Baba community has been quite encouraging and we offer our heartfelt thanks!
On February 26th, Daniel Stone gave a presentation at Meherabad about Meher Baba’s 1952 accident, the Heartland Center, and the role of the Heartland Memorial Initiative. In the coming months, similar events will take place at the Southeast Gathering, Meherana, and via Baba Zoom. Let us know if we can arrange one in your area as well.

SHARING THE NEWS
Although Baba lovers from all parts of the world have visited Prague in recognition of His suffering on our behalf, there are many who have yet to discover these sacred sites. We are hopeful that as more people come to the Heartland Center, they will share in our efforts to acquire, preserve, and memorialize the hospital and the accident site when they become available.
