congradulations to these youngsters who gave up thier time to do some worthwhile cause. As an indian i m very proud of them. I m sure it is not easy to give your home comfort and travel 100s of miles to live in the conditions they had to live. i take my hat to them. well done all of you. i admire you for your courage.

For Asians living in the UK giving donations direct to charities in India has always been difficult as there is always some suspicion that the monies will not reach the people who it’s meant for. I believe that an organisation such as the Asian foundation for philanthropy is a super concept as it is run by British Asians who have vetted the local charities and which are monitored regularly. The idea of young British Asians- many of whom are probably born in Britain- being given the opportunity to volunteer in India is commendable. it would benefit both the individual and the beneficiaries of the charities. our home is certainly the UK and that’s where most British Asians heart is, but that does not mean that you give up your identity and forget your roots, even today, black Americans are looking into their African roots by going back to west Africa and researching their ancestry. Those British Asians who shun India and look down upon it just because they are born in the UK or have lived here most of their lives should be ashamed of themselves.

Thank-you for the report and creating awareness of such projects. I listened to the report and found it moving, touching and motivating. Not only do I see it as an excellent opportunity for personal self development for us, the British Asians, but also inspiring, so we can see this planet of ours as a global village where each the every human matters! I congratulate Asian network for producing the report and thank-you for making it available to us to listen to it on demand. Thank-you! It is very much appreciated!
