Board of Child Haven INDIA

The hard-working early board of Child Haven India. From left, Ramchandra (Secretary), Raju Gupta, Bonnie, Dr Jain (President) and his wife, Pramila, and Kailash Gupta. Since the photo was taken, Mr. V. Kalyahan has joined the Board, as well as Mr. M. Praveen, Dr. K. M. Chitania, and Mrs. Sadhna Kolhatkar.

Raju is the father of Pinky, the child who came to Canada for open heart surgery in 1986. Kailash is Pinky's uncle. The family has been very grateful for the fact that Child Haven saved Pinky's life and have been helping us ever since.

This board was instrumental in raising the money and supervising the construction of our beautiful Hyderabad building. Dr Jain is retired Administrator of Mahavir Hospital. For many years he said to Bonnie, "Madam, when will you release me?" Bonnie said, "Not yet, Dr Jain." She said that to him until he had to relinquish the Presidency due to his advanced years. Raju Gupta is now President. Child Haven is very fortunate to have such highly respected people on our India Board.
