BBC from Northern Ireland BBC from Northern Ireland BBC

A Russian super airplane bringing medical drugs and devices to India hit by the third Corona wave. The BBC reports from Northern Ireland:  

More aid is coming from Germany and other Western countries. The daily infections rate mounted to about 400.000. Oxygen for treatment and human resources are lacking. One of the hotspots is the state of Maharashtra with the megacity of Mumbai (Bombay) in the West. How is the famous charity ADAPT (formerly Spastic Society of India) providing physical and psychological treatment for handicapped children (mostly from its shanty-town Dharavi)? I am in contact with its staff:

"Hope you and the other people of ADAPT are safe. Please let me know how you are protecting the handicapped children in Dharavi. How is vaccination going on in Mumbai?

Best wishes from Ekkehard"

Answer from Varsha, deputy of Dr Mithu Alur, the charity's founder, on 07/05/2021: 

Hi. We are all safe, thank you. Dr. Alur had started tele therapy and online teaching immediately so we are in touch with the children and young adults. Some have returned to their villages of course.... They've started vaccinating you above 18 now... Most of us have taken the first dose of the vaccine. Waiting for enough vaccines to be available for the second shot. Hope you and Helen are well... And have taken both the shots. Regards".

    With havin so much content and articles do you ever run into
    any problems of plagorism or copyright violation? My site has a lot of exclusive content
    I've either authored myself or outsourced but it seems a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet
    without my authorization. Do you know any ways to help prevent
    content from being ripped off? I'd genuinely appreciate it.

    Bonjour cela vous dérangerait-il d'échanger avec quelle plate-forme de site
    internet vous travaillez ? Je planifie de réaliser mon propre blog web dans une existence proche mais
    j'ai de la peine à privilégier entre BlogEngine /Wordpress/B2evolution et guppy.
    la raison pour laquelle je demande est du fait que
    votre design et style ont l'air innombrables de la majeure
    partie des sites et je recherche quelque chose de précisément unique.
    P. S : Mes exonération dans le but d'être hors sujet mais je me devais de demander !

    Car insurance coverage may be actually a lifesaver in case
    of a mishap. It is very important to have a
    plan that suits your demands.

    First off I would like to say excellent blog! I had
    a quick question that I'd like to ask if you do not mind.
    I was interested to know how you center yourself and
    clear your head before writing. I have had a hard time clearing
    my mind in getting my thoughts out. I truly do enjoy writing however it just seems like the first 10 to
    15 minutes tend to be lost simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any
    ideas or tips? Cheers!

    the same layout and design. Superb choice of colors!
