Greetings and Happy Friday!September 24, 2004 |
| Here is a testimony from Scaria Jose, the Chairman of the Free Wheelchair Project of Rotary District 3210 in Kerala, India. Our Rotary friends in Distinct 5240 funded a shipment of wheelchairs to Scaria. You are like the beautiful Flowers of the Garden While giving the wheelchairs - we faced many challenges and witnessed some touching moments. A lady who had been bed ridden for a long time went around her home in your wheelchair by herself, with her children in her lap. Can you feel the joy of her Children? Can you feel the heart of this mother? A little boy went around his village for the first time in his life with his friends. Can you tell me his great feelings? We can not express their feelings in words. Only they knew the extend of their happiness. No one can narrate nor can any language translate their feelings into words. But when we work for the upliftment of these needy people, we get a chance to feel their hearts. I am a publisher. I am a business man. My Rotary organization gave me a chance to see these other sides of life. We also get a chance to work with great organizations like yours. Organizations like Free Wheelchair Mission give us strength, hope and inspiration. You are like the beautiful flowers of the garden. We pick them and make beautiful arrangements. We supplement your work. The gardener is still the Almighty God. May God, bless all the people behind the Free Wheelchair Mission and all the beloved supporters of this beautiful organization that transforms and molds the life of thousands of men, women and children.
