Spring 2016 Newsletter Welcome All activities of Aruna Partnership are inspired by the vision of Dr. Hugo Maier and his wife Anne Maier, founders of Shanthimalai Trust. We are unendingly grateful to the Maiers (affectionately called Appa and Amma), to the beloved people of India, and to you our donors for the privilege of participating in this work. Newsletters will be emailed twice a year. If you have questions or suggestions, please contact us at info@arunapartnership.org. ![]() Program Highlights Because Aruna Partnership is run entirely by volunteers, 100% of donations to our programs go directly to those in need in India.
