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".

    you aren't already ;) Cheers!

    Its like you read my mind! You appear to know a lot about this, like you wrote the book
    in it or something. I think that you could do with a few
    pics to drive the message home a bit, but other than that, this is great blog.
    An excellent read. I will definitely be back.

    You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but
    I find this matter to be really something which I think I would never
    understand. It seems too complex and very broad for me. I am looking forward for
    your next post, I will try to get the hang of it!

    Hey there! This post couldn't be written any better!
    Reading this post reminds me of my previous room mate! He always kept chatting about
    this. I will forward this write-up to him. Pretty sure he will
    have a good read. Many thanks for sharing!
