We were able to folow the improvements in Jalchatra, under the guidance of Father Homrich I really appreciate the website here which gives information on developments even though there is here also some very bad news about the persecution of the people. Wishing you all the best possible outcome in these difficult times.Tricia Coverdale-Jonesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-918995295385546467.post-28846476116664048982010-03-20T11:17:25.041-07:002010-03-20T11:17:25.041-07:00What a lovely early Easter present to be advised o...What a lovely early Easter present to be advised of the Pirgacha Mission website! For several years I was honoured to be the Treasurer & a Trustee of the Boston Jalchatra Project which raised funds in England in support of the wonderful work done by Father Gene Homrich over so many years. In 2004 I emigrated from Britain to live in Mauritius where my wife was born. I have been glad that I could keep in touch with Father Gene & receive the news of life in Pirgacha, some good & some heartbreaking of the trials of the Mandi people. Seeing the photos & the videos of life in your villages fills me with great joy & wish you all every success in your wonderful endeavours together. May God Bless you & keep you safe at this Eastertide & always.

The time I spent in Pirgacha changed my life. These people are some of the most kind and generous that I have ever met. Father Homrich is one of my hero's. His work their has made a significant impact in the quality of life for these people. I hope the global awareness he has raised will help preserve the unique culture of these indigenous people. I am sure Olin has something to do with this website. Please know that I think of you all often and am miss you dearly.<br /><br />Tim Gripka<br />Peace Corps Volunteer (03-05)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
