Letter from the Director

As we seek to involve the larger community in our work, we will obviously need their financial support to help us reach our objectives. However, we strongly desire much more than financial assistance. We earnestly desire to see increasing numbers of people become involved with us in helping to meet the needs of the differently-abled, those marginalized and unseen people of our nation who are often hidden but nevertheless an integral part of us. We seek to be their voice, their heart, and their hands until such time when they can stand on their own feet and seek their own place, serving this great country and God as upstanding citizens with the abilities and talents which have been given to them. And we, for our part, will continue to pursue with vigor and enthusiasm the task entrusted to us of serving the “differentlyabled” with the “different-abilities” which have been entrusted to each one of us..

Sincerely,

Director
Mrs. Geeta Mondol
