Hi, predently I am trvelling in the interiors of Amravati district and the picture here is appalling. I am finding quite a few multi disabled blind. Their health is very bad. Quite a few are badly malnourished and the system does not know of their existence. Parents are either aparhtic or unaware. It needs a lot of dedicarwd effort and resources. Sightsavers have a vouple of projects and I could coordinate if some help is needed. Do contact if required.
