Congratulations to all that are involved in producing and publishing the magazine. It is the result of a lot of hard work.
I would like to take the opportunity here to thank the two organizations, ASA and AFNA for supporting our "Soles for Tots" project, which is about providing new shoes to needy children (and adults, we go away from the literal meaning of "tots", when required), that brought smiles to the faces of close to 900 children (and some adults) in Assam. It is an experience which is "Bigger Than Life". Being able to give directly and interact with the recievers with those innocent faces, brought a feeling of "fulfillment" of responsibilities as a human being. It is above and beyond of any type of name and/or fame that I could gain in life. May we continue to have this mindset for the rest of our lives. Thanks and congratulations again! -Alpana B.

We are looking forward to reading the 2nd Friend's issue. And just as Ankur said, we too say Big Thanks and express our appreciation to Jayanta Barman and Syeda Mafruja Hassan of Guwahati who worked hard to publish the magazine in print. Thanks also to various writers, contributors and editors (Ankur & Anjana) for their work. Needless to mention, alongwith the many children of parijat and Prajnalaya we are ever so grateful to the Sarangapanis for their support and contributions to the "Soles for Tots" project.

In this magazine in the printed and internet versions, experts and professionals from diverse backgrounds, having roots in Assam and the North East, have dealt with various education and career related issues with their firsthand experience. The second issue of Friends was released on 11th at a function in Guwahati by renowned academician and former Vice-Chancellor of Dibrugarh University Prof Kulendu Pathak. The magazine was also released at New Delhi during the Pravasi Bharatiya Divas by our respected Wahid Saleh. Wahid Saleh has been honored with the Pravasi Bharatiya Samman by the President of India. Friends is a global effort by a group of individuals around the world who worked together with Internet as the primary media. Our appreciation to Jayanta Barman and Syeda Mafruja Hassan of Guwahati who worked round the clock on the publication of the magazine in print. The magazine is available at the Nitin Bezbaruah Sarangapani Library at the Parijat Academy. Please visit the you tube video about the making of Friends at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOK1uuckoGI We appeal to the well-wishers and media to spread the word. Our effort will be a success only if the magazine reaches the students. We appeal for your support.
