Review for Deep Griha Society, Pune, , India

Rating: 5 stars  

In 1984 our son, a sophomore in college, toured India during a January term project. He decided to remain at Deep Griha for 3 months, introducing a program of visits between over 50 persons in Columbus, Ohio USA and Neela and Bhaskar Onawale at Deep Griha over the years since 1984. That program, based at First Community Church in Columbus, also resulted in continuing financial support of Deep Griha from 1975 to the current time, 2009. In 2008-2009 First Community members donated over $66,000 toward the Deep Griha budget and in 2008 raised funds to fund construction of a rural school outside Pune, India. Our involvement continues today, with a member of First Community scheduled to visit Deep Griha in January 2010 and a USA organization, Deep Griha USA formed as a 501 C 3 non profit organization to assist Deep Griha in the United States. We believe Deep Griha provides help to some of the poorest of the poor in the slums of Pune and has demonstrated great efficiency in making funds go as far as possible. Serving thousands each year, Deep Griha is wone of the most viable organizations we have encountered in the world. Contact Deep Griha USA at (614) 486 0827, 3074 Glenrich Pky, Columbus, Ohio 43221 or at SBWood@WowWay.com.
