Mandela's Death

Feel sad to hear Nelson Mandela's death.

For most of the world, his name is synonymous with courage and perseverance. 

UN Security Council, Leaders and citizens, athletes and artists remembered Nelson Mandela on Friday.

Flags were lowered to half in countries around the globe.

Mandela inspired and challenged people everywhere to stand up for others.

He was truly a guiding light for Africa.

RIP.

Excluded from a society - INDIA WIDOWS

Approximate 10-15% of 40 million; are women!


In a nation without social security and state healthcare, there is growing anxiety about how India will care for its elderly. And the number of old people is rising steadily. The UN warns it could triple, reaching 300 million within the next 40 years.

Ageing women are more vulnerable than men. Considered inauspicious, widows are ostracised by many and have few sources of income. Without any financial security or welfare infrastructure, many of them are abandoned and they wait to die.
