Welcome to the Crusade against Cancer

Here is a NRI with a large heart. Mr. Tushar Pujara is a businessman in Kenya whose family underwent treatment in India. During the course of treatment he realized that many patients who are less fortunate need help and support.

He identified Project Sahayata for partnering the cause of helping cancer patients and made a generous donation of USD 10000 which would be kept in the form of corpus deposit and the patients will be supported.

It is also a matter of great pride that the family based in Kenya has undertaken major social upliftment programs in Kenya for the local population which makes it truly global in its outlook.

We wish the Pujara family in the very best of health and thank them for their generosity to help the cause.

A wedding invitation in “what we believe in”

Here is a letter we received from Priyanka K from Texas, it was such a refreshing and sensitive thought and I must share with you.

Subject: Wedding Donations

Hello,
I am Priyanka I am getting married this year in December. My fiance and I have jointly decided that we will contribute the gifts we collect (cash) at our wedding to a noble cause. We are currently looking for trusts and foundations who can fulfill this wish. We thought your society would be a good fit to serve this cause. I have looked at the website and am much impressed. Kindly guide us to make a difference in somebody's life.
Thank you.

Priyanka

All of us have attended weddings, sometimes they are lavish and many times the gifts given are not of great use to the couple. Don’t you think that we can have such pragmatic and wonderful approach for starting a married life together! Just imagine a wedding card which reads


At the end of the day your guest is happy that he has given something and you are happy that you have given something to society. Imagine the good wishes you receive for this simple and touching gesture. In fact such good thoughts and deed from ordinary people keep the world going. I definitely feel that this is a message which needs to spread across the whole world, India or abroad.
