| In 1998
funds were raised and we participated with Operation Eyesight in an
eye camp clinic which the foundation funded in the small rural village
of Madanur in Northern India. The Rotary Club in Palampur hosted
us by providing accommodation. They also lead us on a tour through
leprosy colonies, a senior citizen project that was adjacent to an
orphanage and numerous hospitals and communities in need. We
continued our tour by visiting the northern towns in India, Palampur,
Dhussara and Pragpur.
