    Congratulations dear Dr.Lavina. You could hear your inner voice to do something for the society. Your parents are lucky to have a daughter like you. In this modern world, we do not have time to think about our parents or the society. We are busy for no reasons and selfish.

    We spend time and money for our temporary needs but not for a good cause. Let our God enlighten us atleast now, so that we may become a part and parcel of a good deed. May God be with you and your team. Congratulations to Mangalore Konkans also. You are also doing a great job.
