That was the start of a close friendship and the idea of supporting the ashram financially. In the beginning a small amount of money was sent now and then, but along the way it became possible to become a sponsor for the girls. Great help was contributed from Lion&#8217;s Club and the assosiation of the Soroptimists in Denmark. By april 1. 1994 the administration for the Lakshmi Ashram friends was taken over by Lone Poulsen.<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"member\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"#top\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"ikkeprint\" src=\"http:\/\/lakshmiashram.dk\/res\/oppil.gif\" alt=\"[To the top]\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a> How to become a member<\/h2>\n<form id=\"form1\" name=\"form1\">\n<p class=\"ikkeindrykket\">If you want to become a member of the association of Lakshmi Ashram friends and recieve the <a href=\"enews.htm\">newsletter<\/a>, or know more about the association of Lakshmi Ashram friends, please contact:<\/p>\n<p>Friends of Lakshmi Ashram<\/p>\n<p>c\/o Ruth Sillemann<\/p>\n<p>rsillemann &#8220;at&#8221; gmail &#8220;dot&#8221; com<\/p>\n<p>The membership fee is 10 euro per year.<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"sponsor\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"#top\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"ikkeprint\" src=\"http:\/\/lakshmiashram.dk\/res\/oppil.gif\" alt=\"[To the top]\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a> Sponsorship and other support<\/h2>\n<p class=\"ikkeindrykket\">Everybody, as well as single persons as associations, can subscribe for a sponsorship on the girls of Lakshmi Ashram.
