Hi Julia and David

I came to know about both of you from an article in RD. Ignoring the personnel sufferings you both had, the hard determination of helping those malaria affected people at Africa made my eyes filled with tears. We are here living in abundance and getting proper treatment every nook and corner of India. I was not aware that the people are devoid of treatment there. Anyway it is a great thing you both are doing and hats off to both of you. May god bless you both and keep you in good health always.
