My wife, Gita and I had the pleasure of meeting Sukhdev and Rajan during our recent visit to Varanasi. They were kind enough to guide us in the prayers that we had to perform for my son’s final rites before his ashes were immersed in the holy Ganges. In fact, they took time to be with us during the ceremony and we were touched by their kindness, care and concern.

We visited Buddha’s Smile School and have seen the fine effort Sukhdev and Rajan are playing on a daily basis to uplift the lives of the poor and underprivileged children. I can imagine the difficult times that they would have experienced in educating the parents to think of their young children. They are doing a great service and such selfless service deserves all the assistance one can offer.

When I left Varanasi, I promised to keep in touch and more importantly see what sort of role I could play from a distance in helping the couple fulfil their dreams and goals.
