“Mama Neem”

A big thank you from Mama Neem for covering my story in Parsiana ("Mama Neem,” Zoroastrians Abroad, May 21, 2006).

I am happy to inform you that I received a donation from a Parsi for the Neem Awareness Program for Kenya and India. I will be in India in February 2007 to carry out programs in different states. My first function will be in Poona’s N. Wadia College, to coincide with its platinum celebration. I have already informed the principal about it and I will be sharing the function with C. M. Ketkar of Neem Mission in Poona also known as "Mr Neem of India.”

The sentiments expressed by village elders during the functions touch one’s heart and are like a salary from God. The smile on the face of a Kenyan is my job satisfaction. I am loaded with blessings for serving the poor and less fortunate and I share these with all the donors and people who give me a helping hand for this worthy cause.

Currently I am in the UK with my mother and elder sister Mehru Fitter, recipient of the MBE Award in 2004. They are my pillars of strength.
