London 2012 blog

I work at BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir in Neasden, a Hindu temple in north London.

Yesterday we visited the 2012 HQ to meet organisers and share a traditional Indian lunch with them.

As a community, we are very excited about the 2012 Games. We believe that spiritual and physical development are closely linked and will be encouraging our young people to take part in sport. We have many members in Newham and are so proud to have the Games in our neighbourhood.

Volunteering is also important to us - we volunteer within our own community and also within the wider London community - so we hope to get fully involved with volunteering in 2012.

We want to take part in making London 2012 the very best Games ever, in terms of sport, culture, volunteering and all other aspects.
