[Dialogue] Marking the Anniversary of Sandra's Death

[Dharmalingam Vinasithamby]

Dear Bob,

I remember Sandra (and you) as compassionate people and very much down to earth. My most vivid memories are of you and Sandra visiting the human development project at Vaviharsh, Maharashtra, in the late 70s where I was working. On one such health trek, Sandra talked about the importance of greens in our diet and (this was a very poor village) we scouted around for greens growing in the wild that were normally not part of the village diet. We cooked them and served them as a demonstration to people attending the heath trek meeting. Members of the health guild, mainly village women, found this new and strange but ate it all the same. The event was a memorable one for them (and for us "auxillaries" as well). They warmed up to Sandra's smiles, graciousness and her positive attitude. Besides the idea of sourcing unconventional greens for meals, I think they were also taken up by the thought that one could be innovative and find solutions to health issues
 from what is available locally.

Sandra's presence has enriched the lives of many of us.

Dharma
