Please read the following from a doctor who wishes to remain anonymous.

Dear friends at Pallium India, I am happy to say that my daughter is getting married in the week after Christmas.

I have decided to skimp a bit on the festivities, and to send you the amount thus saved. Please find enclosed, a cheque for Rs. 10,000.

I pray that this amount will help in palliating some people‟s suffering and hope that their blessings will enrich my daughter‟s life.

Truly a precious Christmas gift!

Thank you very much doctor!
