Dear Marc, 

Greetings of the day and hope you are doing well and all is well with your family. 

At the very outset I wish to thank you for your kindness, understanding and supporting me during my illness. I was pretty down with flu and with other medical complications was having a tough time but have managed to come through it well. 

On 15th February, I set off for Sekhar Bali Village early in the morning with a few sarees, lungis, grocery packets, rice, medicines and school supplies in school bags for some needy villagers of the area. 

On my way home I stopped to hand over some grocery supplies, medicines, a nighty and biscuits to a blind old lady who is soon going to leave us as her condition is soon deteriorating. 

More in the next mail to you and more photos for your kind perusal. 

Thanks and regards,
