Nursing their community back to health
Over the past 35 years, we’ve helped countless underprivileged women, children and youngsters find a way to rise above their societal limitations. All of them are grateful, but it’s the few special ones that return to serve the community, that make our hearts swell with pride. This is the case with the Deepalaya students currently undergoing Nursing training, thanks to the sponsorship of Shinnyo En Japan.
