"As we stood
![]()
amongst the poorest of the poor in Jaipur, some of them coming from thousands of miles away, we realised this was not just about fitting limbs
but also about restoring dignity to other human beings, and in the process to ourselves, for it is in giving that we receive. There may be other places in the
world where compassion is that tangible; it is just that we had not seen any."
