Jana is an absolute wonder! I join Jana's groups whenever I can, finding comfort in her words, her compassion, her humor and her enormous heart. She has helped me change the way I feel about myself and my spirituality. Jana is a beacon of light and warmth in a city that can leave many in the cold. Her work with the homeless, with the abused, with the poor, with those who otherwise would be alone - her tireless work is a great, great inspiration to many.
I met Jana while marching in an anti-war demonstration in San Francisco. I decided to look her up when I had the opportunity. I discovered that she was deeply involved in working with the seriously neglected and disenfranchised community of people living the Tenderloin. She connects with people in a way that fosters trust. Her plethora of life experiences gives her a crediblity and one understands instantly that she's the real thing. I make a solemn vow to Jana Draka.
