As is currently the case in a frightening and unimaginable way in India, the country with which we as DIG / Indo- German Society Remscheid have had decades of exchanges and cooperation.
The Dalits, the disadvantaged of India, are our friends. This friendship began with our trusted partner, Dr. Lenin Raghuvanshi and his human rights organization PVCHR from Varanasi. We have been working with him and for Dalits since 2002.
During the time of the pandemic, we were shaken and often at a loss by asking ourselves: How can we now help our Dalit friends directly? We are connected through the “Health Center” in the village of Baghwanala, which was inaugurated in February 2020 in my presence as chairperson of DIG, and was financed by the Ministry NRW and us, as supporters and helpers. Dr. Lenin and his team provide the villagers with masks, medicine and food. But then we heard the shocking news about the growing humanitarian catastrophe in India
and the lack of life-saving oxygen concentrators. Thus, the following project idea has emerged: We collect for the purchase of oxygen treatment equipment! But we can only realize this together, dear friends, with your kind support.
After consultation with our local partner, Dr. Lenin, here is our specific appeal: A total of ten oxygen treatment units are urgently needed. The cost of one unit is about 750 euros each.
Thus, the following project idea has emerged: We collect for the purchase of oxygen treatment equipment! But we can only realize this together, dear friends, with your kind support.
In the name of our Indo-German Society and our partner in India, I would like to thank you in advance for your loving support, with which we can ease or even save the suffering of our friends. With God’s help!”
