Gwalior Childrens Charity Award For Volunteering

I manage the website for the GCC at http://www.helpchildrenofindia.org . This is a picture of me receiving an award from Dr B.K.Sharma. He and his late wife Meena are founders of the charity that has rescued many destitute children from various state run institutions. When his wife passed, her estate was used to build a home, hospital and school in Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh (one of the poorest and most deprived parts of India) The charity provides for the residents there and is working to become self sufficient with solar power, a Goshala, and farming area. As well as helping the disabled and destitute, the place also helps local people, especially girls from surrounding villages, providing them with a free education at the new school that opened this year. They also provide a mobile medical center that travels offering medical assistance in the surrounding area.
