Walking Forward with Confidence
" Carrying joy and fulfillment to the lives of so many deprived and less fortunate souls is a privilege given to a fortunate few. Abhilasha has used that special talent so fruitfully and so deeply that she has not only enriched her own life but the lives of all of us who have had the good fortune of being touched by it. I hope she carries on the good work. "

Inside Tihar Jail, Delhi
The idea of going to India’s most infamous prison came to Ms. Abhilasha Singhvi while working on amputees from the Sabarmati Jail at a camp in Ahmedabad in 2006.
When asked in a lighter vein by her if he would use the new found freedom to flee from prison, an inmate with a newly fitted prosthetic said, ‘I would never do anything which would bring disrepute to you.’ This touching comment inspired her to formally apply for permission to hold a rehabilitation camp inside the Tihar Jail.
It was the first time ever in the history of the Jail that a camp of this nature was held there. The most gratifying and heartwarming reward came in the form of a comment made by one of the inmates; he said that if they were ever released, they would like to offer their services to MSS in any way that they could. Such is the healing power of human service.

“Abhilashaji has made the prisoners of Tihar feel that society cares for them. The compassion of Abhilashaji and her volunteers has made them feel remorse for the crimes committed by them. We would like to have many more such camps.”
