hi kiran. a wonderful presentation. you are doing a great job, should say you are an artist carving children for the better future.
People do need to change the angle of viewing self. Society automatically will be benefited. INFECTED–CONTAGIOUS is our society we need an antidote.
A CURE. But again some infections are such that it needs the ampule of same virus to be injected. I see your’s and the children’s work of going out waking people from deep sleep bringing awareness about themselves.
Though the whole body is rootly infected i think it needs time for a partial cure if not complete. But if partial- that will be a great achievement. I suggest if you can plan awareness schedules for the people attached with the govt. institutions whose decisions plays major parts in everyone’s life. Because now one but children can cure their minds. Like SOME SIMPLE QUESTIONS ARE HARDER TO ANSWER.
May you call it THE AWAKENING. best of luck kiran.
