    “First of all we are indebted to you that you spent your valuable time writing exclusively for us on your unique programme. Your inputs will certainly be a source of inspiration to volunteers involved in similar activities. The service you are providing to the section of the community which is unable stand up on their own is indeed commendable and I hope that the project you have undertaken will succeed and more and more families of mentally ill persons benefit from your programme. Please convey my best wishes to the team of 10 KSHEMA volunteers for all what they are doing for the mentally ill. Hats off to them.

    I on behalf of Stefano Cordella, Programme Officer, UNV, Syria, express my gratitude for responding positively to our request. We wish you all the best for your present and future endeavours, Warm regards, Ashok.”
