National Nutrition Week (1 to 7 Sept) We love the fact that we are able to play a role, however small in making a difference to the wonderful children of India 14 per cent of the population in India is malnourished. Inadequate food supply, undernutrition and hunger, can lead to ailments and diseases. We started coaching classes to help them complete their homework on a daily basis besides helping them with tables, poems, answers etc.. Children started getting better grades.

We used to work for Physically & Mentally Challenged people from poor families. Instead of charging parents, we used to pay them stipends, depending upon the work done by them I met Helen there 20 years back there and have been in touch with her ever since. When she was 3 months old she had a high fever resulting in a stroke. Her left arm & leg were paralysed. Her left arm and left leg are shorter & weaker so she can’t use them properly.

Over the past 9 years, Evangeline has undergone many surgeries and more will follow. She still can't speak properly and vomits through her nose. She will have to go through major surger
