Nada India Foundation News update

In politics and administration, the touchstone of leadership is compassion. This quality was displayed by Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar when he announced ₹4 lakh as ex gratia for the families of those who died after consuming spurious liquor in the state. Despite the tragic deaths of over 26 people in East Champaran district, Kumar initially declared that no compensation would be given, emphasizing that those who consume alcohol “will die” and urging against drinking.

On 17th Jan2013 .Bal Bhavan (child's building) in Mandi village South Delhi Suneel arranged a remarkably successful and unique meeting--which developed over several years of interpersonal  building efforts.  That is to say, years of meetings were needed to develop the openness and trust with some of the participants.  The Bal Bhavan is a large area with scattered buildings, creative sculptures, various large plant arrangements, and many sites of special interactions for kids.  It was built in the semi-socialist 60's under Nehru and now has very little funding so the program is propelled by a dedicated multi-talented staff. We planned a month-long bead treatment of 25 regular attendees in the program.  The children were told to  make a painting and write 3 favorite words.
