Thank you
Thank you Mr. Rajagopal for your wishes and compliments. All of us from Sankalp wish you success in all your future endeavors.
Dear all at Sankalp
Hearty congratulations on the Jury's choice award from Americares. I had made a presentation myself on behalf of Pallium India. I would have preferred to win the award for Pallium India, but am happy that we lost to such a worthy competitor.
I am writing this just to tell you how much I admire the wonderful work that you do. Before I came into Palliative Care, I worked as an anesthesiologist and in that role a not-infrequent heart-breaking experience used to be having to watch helplessly as people died in front of you just because blood did not become available at the right time. Your essential humanity is very very inspiring and I fold my hands to you.
And the presentation was simply wonderful!
