My first visit and a very happy one. We hope our partnership will grow and remain.

It is very reassuring to see SPPD in the capiases and enthusiastic menders of Staff and Teachers. We were very well received and we thank you for your hospitality.

Today I have visited the Tuition class of SPPD at Puddupatty. It was a pleasure to meet the teachers and the students. It was even possible to communicate with them in some simple English. after that I saw the new trees they just have planted and the trees they planted last year. A nice dance performance with two drummers. The students look very eager to learn and seems to be happy to have their daily classes. Wish them all a bright future.

It is exactly ten week since I arrived here and each day has been a source of wonder and joy. Wonder at the commitment and vision of the administration and staff and joy from your warmth, good humour and friendship. SPPD is successfully achieving its ideal

I am not supposed to mention the welcome from Mary and Joseph, but how could I not thank them both for their hospitality, and Mary's excellent food. The visit to the different projects could not fail to impress me. The photo shoots and Protocol was quiet fun. Congratulations to you all at SPPD!

It has been a great joy to come to the home of Joseph, Mary, Raju and James and I have had a lovely dinner and now a lovely lunch. We have learned about the great work done by Raju and James for the poor and about Andrew and the SPPD. It was particularly good to visit the Sacchitananda Ashram. We love to see you all again sometime. Many thanks & go mibh maith agaibh (in Irish)!
