| HOPE Center Takes Some Giant Steps Forward- By Eric Parkinson VeAhavta President About four years ago, I came to the conclusion
that the Grace Care Center needed to become an integrated facility – a

a segregated society would not be a part of the solution, particularly
in a region so small geographically. People would have to live
together respectfully; a good place to begin to inculcate that
mutual respect would be with children. If they could grow up
together, perhaps they would see each other not as enemies but
as friends. more Meet Pathmapriya, Grace
