Thank you. Just looked her up on Wikipedia. Sounds as if her place in that company is well deserved.Row 3,3 Irena Sendler
Hahaha. Nice thought, @Bradypus, but I think you've been in Japan with the cherry blossoms too long.Top left might be our own @VNwalking If not perhaps she can help us out with that one.
Unfortunately I'm useless. It's a distant blurry photo - and whomever it is is in a Tibetan lineage (which I am not), and there are literally hundreds of possibilities out there. It does not look like the Dalai Lama or the Panchen Lama. I don't know.perhaps she can help us out with that one.
How did you manage to do that???
I'm thinking Latin America but get no further.
Sombath Somphone from Laos?
Haha! (Go to bed, @Purky. Tomorrow is another day. )I just know this search is gonna drive me crazy...

Hi there, I'm Helen, I did the Camino last fall with my husband. The shrine at the church (Parish of the Immaculate Conception) in Hontanas was very moving. I picked up the brochure and still have it. The person you are looking for is Bai Fang Li. He was Chinese. The man's story is told in the brochure but it is quite long. Long story short: he was a pedicab driver who lived a spartan life in order to give his earnings to an orphanage in his city. He died at the age of 90 in 2005, having given about 60K euros (equivalent) over the years. He was declared as one of the ten people who 'most touched the heart of China' by Central China Television in 2004.Can anyone tell me the names of the 16 (left to right) 'saints' 'remarkable beings' on the church wall at Hontanos.
Excuse my ignorance but I can only name 4 with certainty.
Hi Helen. Are you saying that the man in the lower left photo is Bai Fang Li? Who is left column second from the top? I think I’ve got the others.
