My Nonprofit Reviews

I visited Deep Griha in 1994 with a group of Guiders from the U.K.We were doing community service in schools and Welfare centers. It was our second day we arrived at Deep Griha to entertain, play sing and do Handicrafts with 600 children. As my group were making bommerangs and a small boy stood at the corner and did not join in when I waved to him. 3 times a waved him over when something told me "Go to the boy", as I stood with my hands on his shoulders I saw he was nearly blind.So i took him to see the lady in charge of D.G. Dr mrs Onawale was a quiet humble lady who smiled at the boy as I explained he should be referred to an Ocular Surgeon as he had a dense catarractin one eye and an corneal abrassion on the left eye thus he only had partial sight. Sit down and tell me who you are and why you know that the Dr said. I was the only Optometrist in the room and the little boy stood next to me! God works in a mysterious way! So I asked Vision Aid Overseas to let me take a team of Optometrists to examine the eyes and give out spectacles to the poor people in the slums."2,000 or so people are seen since annually with a team from the UK. And in 2000 I opened an Eye Cliunic at the Centre to examine more people- and a Mobile Clinic which goes out to other sluma and surrounding villages.In 2004 I started a charity in UK for Deep griha. THEY HAVE SO LITTLE AND WE HAVE SO MUCH. I have seen the magnificent work this good Christain lady has done for her own poor people She helps when asked and works out and opens other schools,nutrition centres(and how many are you cooking for today, I asked ans the good lady in the kitshen said,2500!) And one lady was delighted with her spectacles and cried and said I will be able to see my Granddaughter! I have been some 13 times to help this lady and support her work for anyone who comes for help she sits and works out a way to help. With more resources she could continue the work she has begun--- helping her fellow men. I have worked in Africa,malawi,Uganda,the Congo and I know this Lady works wonders with the amount she gets from donations and has helped thousands since she started 35 years ago. So any money available would indeed help those poor people.She is a miracle worker. So why not help too?
