Some experiences are exceptional. Rev Eva Marie Koch, on the left in the first photo, visited us at the Child Development Centre when ASHIRVAD began its activities at Chennai in 1983. She shared about our desire to create a facility for children with neuro-developmental needs with two teachers, Gisela, the second person on the first photo, and Christiane (who is no more).
They got together some friends and children form their classes (second photo) to make handmade articles for sale during Christmas and Easter, the proceeds of which was forwarded to ASHIRVAD for the last thirty five years.
Now it is a larger circle of friends (third photo) !
Anna and I feel privileged to have had this opportunity to have such warm friendships and refreshing contacts with people who value the small efforts we were able to make to accompany families of children with neuro-developmentla needs.
This is the thirty fifth year of this initiative!
