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".

    Hmm it seems like your site ate my first comment (it was super long) so I guess I'll just sum it up what I submitted and say, I'm thoroughly
    enjoying your blog. I too am an aspiring blog writer but I'm
    still new to everything. Do you have any tips for first-time blog writers?
    I'd really appreciate it.

    I'm amazed, I have to admit. Seldom do I come across a blog that's both educative and
    interesting, and without a doubt, you have hit the nail on the head.
    The problem is something not enough men and women are speaking intelligently about.
    Now i'm very happy that I came across this in my hunt for
    something relating to this.

    Howdy! I realize this is kind of off-topic however I had to ask.

    Does running a well-established blog like yours take a large amount
    of work? I'm completely new to running a blog however I
    do write in my journal every day. I'd like
    to start a blog so I will be able to share my experience and views online.

    Please let me know if you have any recommendations or tips for new aspiring bloggers.
    Appreciate it!
