Welcome !!!

This is a blog that had been opened two years back, then unfortunately it was lost, not sure how we managed to do that, but anyway for a long time we tried to retrieve it but were unable to do, so had sadly said goodbye to the blog. Then as a surprise my daughter retrieved each of the write ups and put it together in this blog page. Yesterday for the first time I looked into my blog, reconstructed by my daughter; most of what we had written were there except for the dates. The feeling was great

Why had i opened this blog ??
For me it was important that issues not being addressed currently in Orissa or issue that are not considered very important to be addressed in Orissa are reflected here.

It was equally important that friends from the CBOs that I work with who are as well as work with vulnerable, marginalized population can put across the isolation that they face and the stigma and discrimination that they address as well as face in this blog.

Our CBO friends hopefully one day will be confident enough to write their stories on their own, but currently I think it is our responsibility to see that they are reflected for all to see, feel and do something about.

Welcome to our blog, 'Living with Dignity'
