A few more days and the year will come to an end! A few days back I met a family who sold a piece of their property to give Prajwala a donation. I do not think the family is aware how monumental the contribution is, it comes at a time when we are facing acute shortage in the last phase of the construction of the Emergency Shelter and the Economic Rehabilitation Unit. And once more I am amazed and zapped by GOD's plans. When we say universe conspires it truly conspires....to make things right.
And I look back at this year...a year filled with multiple challenges, attacks and accolades...flowers and brick-bats practically going hand in hand...
This year is also significant for landmark campaigns,landmark rulings and most importantly setting in motion a range of structural activities to 'SECURE' Prajwala.
Professionally I felt terribly let down by some friends in the legal fraternity, but personally I was rejuvenated by extraordinary friends who did not allow me to fail or crash....so most of the outside world never got to know the nightmare of 'mass staff resignations' out of fear for life!!! I want to acknowledge my friends Anna Wolf Geeta Sekhon and Rekha Abel who support me in all my writings be it policy papers or donor reports...I do not know how I could have accomplished so much this year without these three wonderful women who live in three different parts of the world...who have have given up so many of their nights to research and write for me just so that I can continue my ground work....
Rachana Reddy Bollu my young lawyer friend has been my life-saver for legal drafting...
The strength to my soul comes from my family especially my father Shri Raju Krishnan and my husband Rajesh...when my father gave his entire pension amount for my construction,I knew I can face any challenge anytime in my life...as his blessings is my greatest armor...Adding to this strength is the unconditional love of my friends Lavanya Ravulapalli Lalitha GollamudiSumana Rao Padma Cherukupalli, Kristen Daniels Wade Karen Mulhauser, Geeta Menon,Bhavana Chiranjay...there prayers,faith in my conviction and unstinting support is godsend.My backbone is my team who inspite of all odds stands by me...I salute them...
But today Prajwala sustains thanks to the unconditional and unstinting support of millions of friends from different parts of the world who through monitary contribution have ensured that the mission of Prajwala is unhindred. Facilitating support from wonderful organizations like Global Giving is much appreciated .
