Trip
To India 2026
Along with two volunteers, the Center’s Founder, Don Messer, and Executive Director, Justin Levy, just returned from a January trip to India and Sri Lanka. Time was spent in Kolkata, Chennai, and Namakkal, as well as Colombo, Sri Lanka..
The purpose of this visit was to solidify our partnerships in all of these communities, and to launch the Minnie R. Fredericks Grief Support Program in Chennai. Learn more about the trip and our current initiatives in both countries!
