Andre Garzia Visiting from Brasil
Andre Garzia, software developer from Niteroi, Brasil (across the bay from Rio) has been working in collaboration with Sannyasin Brahmanathaswami since 2004, crafting on our Himalayan Academy web site and digital applications. Much of what you see on our web site is delivered with a web application largely developed under his skilled hands. For the past year he has been working with Mozilla under a Foundation grant to teach web skills to the general community in the Rio de Janeiro area. He has become an HTML Javascript expert. His official contract with Mozilla as the pilot project he was contracted for is over. He's now almost full time on our team, while at the same time kicking off his own small company in Brazil and continuing to volunteer a lot of his time to the Mozilla Foundation Open Web mission goals.
Andre will be with us for one month. The This is his fifth visit. His wife Elisangela, aka "Lily" will be arriving on the 25th to join him for 9 days.
Andre's current mission has been to create a new panchangam app that users can use on the web and on their smart phones, which can be integrated into our new Siva Siva app and also access directly on the web. Stay tuned for more as the new tool unfolds.

Swami you spell Brazil with a “Z ” and an “S”. That is not consistent or correct. Please correct!
Warm regards and love

In the US it is commonly spelled “Brazil,” however in the international community and in the country itself it is spelled “Brasil,” so we went with that.

Swami cutting and pasting from the first paragraph:
“kicking off his own small company in Brazil and continuing…”
Please note usage of both American and Native spellings.
warm regards and love
