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".

    Its like you read my thoughts! You seem to know so much approximately this,
    like you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you could do
    with some p.c. to drive the message house a bit,
    but other than that, this is wonderful blog. A great read.
    I'll definitely be back.

    Hello would you mind letting me know which web host you're using?
    I've loaded your blog in 3 completely different browsers and I must say this
    blog loads a lot faster then most. Can you suggest a good internet hosting provider at a reasonable price?

    Thanks a lot, I appreciate it!

    Having read this I believed it was rather informative.
    I appreciate you taking the time and energy to put this
    content together. I once again find myself spending a significant amount of time both reading and leaving
    comments. But so what, it was still worthwhile!
