Biography
By partnering with local NGO’s (non government organizations), VITAL supports projects which ensure the many disadvantaged and vulnerable children receive access to quality education, healthcare facilities, nutrition and clean water, protection and emergency shelter. VITAL believes that the international community must come together through organizations like VITAL and prompt the necessary action from governments, world leaders and the communities themselves to ensure the Rights of the Child are upheld.
My Purpose
VITAL was founded in 2007 and is currently operating in Kolkata(formerly known as Calcutta) Like MicroGiving, VITAL is a new charity and it would be fun for VITAL and MicroGiving to grow together

Visiting tribes in Orissa


Posted on Wed 22 Oct, 03:33 pm

Visiting tribes in Orissa We loved our first visit to India so much that we asked our guide, Suvo, to organise an interesting tour for our return in January 2007 & he suggested the tribes in Orissa. This was to be a gruelling trip of 8 hours each day in a car, travelling along narrow winding roads full of potholes after the monsoon rains had eroded them away.
There were no fancy 5 star hotels, no restaurants or toilets, as we were in the middle of no where, visiting tribes very few people knew existed. Tourism in this area had only started 20 years ago with about 12,000 visitors each year.
There were 3 different markets we had to reach on certain days to see these tribal people walk miles to buy & sell goods. The Bonda tribe was the most fascinating for me with only 3000 of them left, living in the mountains 1000m above sea level, untouched by modern civilisation.
We came across Dongaria Kondha, once infamous for their practice of human sacrifice, Kut  >>>

I truly owe you continual thanks. 

You provided me with a life-changing opportunity to see
a world far displaced from anything Ive ever known. You
are a true archetype of compassion and a beautiful
ramification of Hope. Keep going strong!

Hope arouses, 
as nothing else can arouse, 
a passion for the possible.
