“Myself Dr. Rajesh Kumar, Secretary of Ecoles de la Terre Welfare Society want to say "Thank you" to AMDA for providing bore well installation in Danpur, Mathiyani, Gaya (Bihar) which is very much helpful for the poor people; that can be used for irrigation, shower and daily uses. It would also help them in keeping themselves healthy and fit. I appreciate the work done by AMDA and I would be pleased in helping this organization in the future also. If AMDA takes such initiatives in other impoverished villages also, then it would be wonderful.”
