Arun Tomar - Our Board Member is no more.

[Guest guest]

Dear Friends,

On 22nd May, 2005, we lost our founder member and Joint Secretary of NIPASHA+ -

Mr. Arun Tomar. Arun had gone to the Bambolim beach for a bath and slipped deep

into it.

Arun, an Activist was bold enough to raise the issues of all PLHA. He was the

founder member and President of Nai Zindagi+, Goa (a partner organisation of

NIPASHA+) and Founder Member and President of Zindagi, Goa, an affiliated

network of INP+.

Arun was single and was living with his parents.

It is a great loss to NIPASHA+ and to the PLHA movement in Goa.

We, all the partners of NIPASHA+ join together to pray to give courage and

strength to his family members and staff of Nai Zindagi and Zindagi, Goa, to

bear this irrepairable loss.

May God rest his soul in peace.

In solidarity,

Vijay Nair & Team

Nipasha+
