7. SCOPE'S INSPIRATIONS

I never met her. She worked among the destitute & those rejected by the society. Gave them dignity. Gave them mother's shoulder to cry. Made them feel that they were as much important to the society as healthy and normal humans are. Notwithstanding the criticism from all quarters she taught SCOPE how to work.

Rev. Fr. Hiroyuki Ishikawa, catholic priest, hailed from Japan, Yokohama diocese. Worked tirelessly for the poor in several countries. Helped many poor in different parts of India with the typical attitude of Nishkama Karma (work without expecting fruit). I walked with him. I saw his concern for the people living on the fringe of the society. He became a friend and quiet inspiration to all. He left this world recently. with the legacy. The SCOPE picked up where he left to accomplish what he started. Thanks for the photos by Kazuha Ogasawara and the site below: http://www.flickr.com/photos/11201760@N05/sets/72157601341095488/


Mahatma Gandhi believed in Panchayat Raj, self-sufficiency, simplicity, most of all truthfulness to the last breath, come what may. SCOPE found these good implements to organise village communities and educate them in a progressive way which will render them self-dignity and self-identity. The SCOPE based itself on these inspiring values from the planet-movers like him. www.iloveindia.com/indian-heroes
