“Mr. K.L. Patwardhan

Mr. Patwardhan, founder of SWA-Roopwardhinee, Pune, (Project #7) visited Seattle in August 1999. A visionary educator, he started a study and tutorial center for the brightest children of the slum areas to pursue their career dreams.  These students are encouraged to return to the center and tutor other students like themselves.  PPI has had several projects with SWA-Roopwardhinee over the years. Shanta and Ramesh Gangolli hosted an evening for many of the PPI members and other interested individuals to meet with this remarkable man and hear him speak. “

So this project has existed for over 5 years. It is praised by several organizations which have funded it and know what they do. They go out and hunt for funding so that they can help slum-dwellers. Give their kids a chance to make it on merit. Empower the women through education and skills.

But the “in-depth”, “comprehensive” researchers of Sabrang/FOIL call them a hate-mongering organization.

Whom do you believe? Professor Vinay Lal’s arrogant “South Asia PhDs”of, who tell us that their verdict is supreme, or the common-sense statements of kind and fair humans who know what they are talking about?
