Thanks to Jennifer, the proceeds from a Home Business Expo and Craft Fair in Nora Springs on Saturday the 23^rd of February 2013, will go to support the patients seen by Pallium India.

Jennifer and friends, it was good to have you with us in Trivandrum. We know that more of your group are planning fund-raising activities to help our patients. Thank you.
