Wow, so you really reside in Mumbai..this poem is a good window into what some of your days are like. Already it was obvious what a compassionate person you were in your soul; but not only are you compassionate, you are an activist, which is the best example of it. Bless you in your working, I know that you are making a big difference. (smile)

'And wherever possible even scholarships So that they can realise their dreams Without making any parents scream' wow that was so well expressed indeed..very effective..I liked the narrative manner in which you presented the poem too, yet some children doesnt use those money to good effect, and you know the tragedy is such with a mere bribe even an arsitocrte's son can get a bursary or a scholarship here..world is filled with inhumainty and injustice..thanks 10+++.

I love this poem because I had my children taught painting by a watercolorist Ruth Tuck who let their imaginations fly without too much technical restraint. I also love it because of the work you do in encouraging these children who don't have the benefit of money to realize their dreams. You are truly amazing Sandra and I commend you for your poem and inspiration to others. 10 Karin Anderson

What a wonderful organization you are part of to do such important work for these children. They all deserve the best life has to offer and you helped to make them feel important and special. You have given them hope. This is a wonderful poem and shows what heart and compassion you have, sandra. I love it! A '10+! ' Warm Wishes, Marilyn
