Alleviation of Human Suffering
 
 

I am glad to know about the good work of Manav Seva Sannidhi for the disabled.
Greetings and best wishes.

The idea of going to India's most infamous prison came to Abhilasha Singhvi while working on amputees from the Sabarmati Jail at a camp in Ahmedabad in 2006. Said one inmate with a newly fitted prosthetic when asked in a lighter vein by Ms. Singhvi if he would use the newfound freedom to flee from prison, 'I would never do anything which would bring disrepute to you.' This touching comment inspired Ms. Singhvi to formally apply for permission to hold a rehabilitation camp inside the 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.
