To be frank, anything about us
would not amount to anything
other than for the One whose wisdom and grace makes us what
we are. While we ourselves cannot claim to be the 'smarts' behind
what we do, we can brag about the One who sustains us.
Yes the ONE who is well known to some and still unknown to
many. He is the initiator, the motivator, and the sustainer
of our efforts. He is
known as the Creator, the Maker, the Almighty, the Ancient of
Days, as nobody knows His age. And His
image was reflected in the lives and work of Father Damien, Mother Teresa
and the like while they saw His image reflected in neglected
and suffering souls. So, it is all about Him, our
God. Though His ways appear strange we simply want to place our
stakes on Him! In other words ours is one more ad- or odd-venture just to try Him out! So, it is nothing,
absolutely nothing about us, but everything about Him and Him alone!
The main objective is to render healthcare where our governmental services are unable to reach, thus sharing the burden of the government and the community at large.

How did we go about it?
We wanted....
1) to choose a place where there is no medical aid for about
a 10 km radius.
2) to conduct regular out-patient services for five days a
week. (We are now doing it for just about 4 days a week)
3) to identify patients requiring surgery, that can be managed
in our centre, then contact willing teams that are ready
to render free help, fix dates, prepare the needy and keep
them ready. The team arrives and stays with
us for two full days to help out as much as possible.
The beneficiaries
are those who could not have
any help from the near-by government institutions and cannot
travel and spend days away from home if they
are to be waitlisted in major government centres. These people
are the ones that can neither go far away from their homes nor
afford private treatment, as even in a small set-up the cost
may vary from 5 to 15 or even 20 thousand rupees. The poorest
of the poor, widows and orphans are our priorities. |

|
The team of benefactors
consists of people of different faiths, but believe
in a creator and very strongly believe in universal
brotherhood, and have unshakable conviction that our
expertise, time and wealth must be shared amongst
our less fortunate brothers. |

Our main helpers (for
nursing assistance) are the local youth who have
attempted some form of schooling. They seem to do a
great job and lack of proper education helps in
keeping them from being haughty and to have better
relationship with the patients. |
After our initial requests
in 1998 we have never ever made any appeal for any financial
help, and with God's help we are determined to continue our
work without making any monetary
demands from the patients (except for blood and
investigations which they are requested to manage on their
own).
We strongly believe in the statement of the missionary
Hudson Taylor, that
GOD'S WORK DONE IN GOD'S WAY SHALL NEVER
LACK GOD'S SUPPLY.
