She's been interviewed on "In The Spirit," Radio Show on WRPI 91.5 FM for her ongoing support of the Tibetan Home of Hope Orphanage (THOH), in the town of Jian Zha in the Amdo Region of Tibet, nestled between the mountain ranges of the Himalayas.

Tibet is truly a sacred land dedicated to the enlightenment of all sentient beings.Bonnie's trips to Tibet were grounded in Pure Karma yoga, and gave her the opportunity to be of selfless service to the orphans and the people of Tibet. She taught English, Math and Yoga to the children, and had daily two (2) mile walks into town with the children to buy them necessities and treat them all to ice cream cones! She made friends with a baby cow and walked him down to the glacier runoff water for a cool bath. When not mothering the children, she took charge and action to correct a number of issues in the orphanage.
