Due to the generous giving of TLT supporters Sozo and Des were able to travel to India to visit and initiate food and medical programs and offer support to the local TLT workers. Due to the excellent communication system that **TLT** has built up with local community leaders over the past years Sozo and Des are warmly greeted in India and are able to see first-hand the wonderful work which **TLT are doing in India through its various Indian partners**
**1.** TLT checked on the recently built water well 520 feet deep to supply a local region in Northern India which TLT funded. **Money has been raised for a new well to be built (through fund raising by two of TLT recently joined trustees (more on this in the next report)**
**2.** The new Learning Centre to accommodate 20 village children for basic education (this is our 3[rd] learning centre built) is thriving.
**3.** Supported various children’s program to educate children to livewith a more healthy lifestyle.

**5.** Have taken the responsibility and medical costs for a 13 year old boy with Osteogenesis (we are waiting to see if surgery can be done to give this boy a chance and a better future.
**Update**
**The doctors and surgeon decided it was too risky to give Daramaselum surgery. So TLT bought him an electric wheelchair which makes him mobile. He is delighted as is his family and village.**
**6.** All the conferences on a healthy life style were given food and basic travelling costs.
**7.** We have 3 MOU (memorandum of understanding – a non binding contract) with 3 hospitals in India who support TLT with our medical camps
