I just want to share the little I know about the Village Outreach Program and invite everyone to correct me where I am wrong and add their own experience to mine.
As far as I know it is really one person's dream, Dr Vinay Lakshmi, who, as I understand, was a practicing medical doctor in the UK.
I have heard that she had to push hard for it and find her own financial support as the Nirwair and others were not supporting it. I guess she must have received some support from Dadi Prakashmani.
A number of times each week she goes into small remote villages in the Mount Abu area with a mobile clinic. Those are areas where no medical services are to be found and where no one could afford any otherwise. All the services are provided for free. If someone needs to be brought to the hospital for treatment, they will provide transportation and will even bring in the whole family with the patient if needed and offer them food and accommodation, all for free.
She does way more than offering medical services. She also does social service, education, distributes food and clothing ...
She welcomes anyone who wants to go along with her on her tours. I have been on a short one and I'll share my experience in the next post.
It seems to me that she is doing it out of a genuine spirit of service to people and although it may be sickening that the BKWSU are repackaging everything for self promotion purposes, it doesn't take away from the good of the services the Village Outreach Program is providing.
