Shareena Bhaya, Project Manager, Pallium – Ganga Prem Project, Uttarakhand, who spent 2 weeks at Pallium India, Trivandrum, writes about her visit:

My time here, at Pallium, has been profoundly transformative and a turning point. In gratitude for the experiential learnings via home care visits, classroom interactions with palliative care medical professionals / social workers / volunteers, care and warmth of the Pallium Family, and especially my learnings from the precious time spent with Dr. M. R. Rajagopal during our home care visits in Uzhamalackal.

Viewing “Hippocratic” got me teary eyed, and I felt an internal shift. Dr. Rajagopal is a powerhouse of positive energy, and a living example of “divinity at play”. I will be leaving here with a sincere resolve to emulate (at least some of) his indomitable will and intrepid, pioneering efforts towards the advocacy of Palliative Care, spreading the light of love, in service – experiencing the joy of giving.
