Dear Friends
The website is an effort to introduce what we are doing. This is not just talking about ‘Success Stories’. The picture is not just rosy. We come across roses in the bushes, along with thorns strewn in the path. The way is long and full of challenges. Travelling this way involves problems and potentialities, struggles and successes,
moments of despair and rays of hope.
We would appreciate it if you can join us as partners in this tough, long, challenging journey in the search of alternatives and social justice. If you share our vision, then do join us in Action. Discover the joy and satisfaction of GIVING through your Skill or Resources.
