“Today I have read your annual report carefully with high interest as I was involved years ago in your valuable work in Delhi. Having a 33 years mentally handicapped daughter ourselves my wife Rosemarie and myself are quite keen to learn details of your work. As you may remember Rosemarie and I were co-founders of a home for handicapped adults ( www.heydenmuehle.de). The Samadhan annual report is giving evidence of providing not only high professional support but even more important of social competence characterized by devotion to the poorest of the poor, empathy with the suffering disabled children and their parents and family members. I’m realizing e tremendous strength of your whole team including the volunteers whom your training before taking over responsibility for others. Your national and international contacts are keeping you up to date as far as caretaking, developing and medical treatment are concerned – congratulations. Your therapy approaches are matching with the therapies we are practising in Germany as well. I have send a copy of your report to the MD of our association (Heydenmuehle) who may admire your achievements standing on your own feet during the starting phase in particular. We may learn from you to strengthen our international cooperations.”
