Good to celebrate the success of the group. From NS’s start up approach, I think it has moved into the phase of reimagining under your leadership. It’s in the right hands and will be seen and heard more for more good reasons. AMEND continues to offer support to families in need and as Guru has pointed out also give space for the voice of the PMIs. Hope this grows further to make stigma a thing of the past. Best wishes to all the AMEND family .<\/p> <\/div>\n

Dear Mr. Suraj,
I have been following the Good Work being done by the AMEND Group since so long and continuing to grow stronger and stronger. I was introduced to AMEND by
Dr. Nirmala Srinivasan, when I was in Delhi itself. One of the great initiatives AMEND has taken up is that some members have taken the initiative to register a Public Trust, named “SAKSHAM SUMANA” a couple of years ago, where our main aim is to solve our biggest problem of “Who and How our Dear One (our only child, a Daughter) even after Our (My and my wife’s Life).<\/p> <\/div>\n

I am new to this group as I am participating in the programs organised by AMEND for last few months since I am now staying with PMI as a caregiver. My wife Runa has also participated in IAF programmes 3 times. But in this short journey of us enriched us enormously – taught how to tackle the different challenging situations. Really it is great to know this gas 33 years of endeavour to achieve this hieght. I along with my wife is really thankful to MAMTHA JI & GURUPRASAD JI & all the members to whom we met for such wonderful interactions of the caregivers. Thank you very much once again.<\/p> <\/div>\n
