Dear PRASAD Friend,
I have just returned from India and
it's been a wonderful experience visiting PRASAD Chikitsa
and its programs after a while. The work is magnificent
and it is a tribute to our staff and volunteers on the
ground, who work day after day to ensure that the PRASAD
mission is being fulfilled and people’s lives
are positively influenced. Nevertheless the task to
uplift the Tansa Valley (Maharashtra, India) is large
and will need focus and determination over many years,
to achieve our goals.
The visit included some of the most
remote villages and it was heart wrenching to see the
difficult and tough life that people had around the
catchment area in the Tansa Valley (Maharashtra, India)
and in the villages near Chennai city (Tamil Nadu, India)
where PRASAD is active with Tsunami relief work. The
scorching heat, unrelenting poverty, a mix of disease,
malnutrition and social challenges, reminds us of the
many blessings we are fortunate to have in our lives.
Wherever the visit took us - whether
the HIV program, the GSP Netra Chikitsa Hospital and
Clinic, the Self Help Groups, the Tsunami Rehabilitation
Work in Tamil Nadu or the Milk Programs in the schools,
the villagers were always happy to see PRASAD volunteers
and staff. And it was always for one single reason -
the staff and volunteers truly cared for the villagers
and offered their service in the same spirit.
In this newsletter you can find
a few highlights from this visit. Our hope is to inspire
you to see how you could contribute to this work. You
can make a direct difference in the lives of thousands
of people by giving a donation or volunteering your
service in various ways (Donation: Click
