Foreword (translated)

Foreword 

It is my pleasure that this small booklet “Memories & Feelings” is being published on the auspicious day of Saraben Nursing College Hostel’s inauguration.

This Nursing College run by the Health Foundation and Research Center is a source of great pride for the small city of Dahod. It was always one of Shri Girdharlal Sheth’s dreams that Dahod would become a great center of education and health. Through his efforts, and with a major donation from the Urban Bank of Dahod, the Health Foundation and Research Center of Dahod has become that place.

By accepting my humble donation the HFRC has given me a remarkable opportunity to be linked to the development of education and cultural enhancement of my hometown. I am thrilled to have this chance to repay my motherland.

This booklet will really make Sara's soul happy. As a young woman, she had to travel far away from home to attend nursing college. Now, through this hostel, the daughters of Dahod, and its nearby villages, will not have to go through the same trouble of leaving home to get a nursing education. Construction of this hostel is a real tribute to my late wife’s struggles to be a devoted nurse. For making this booklet possible, I would like to sincerely thank Mr Moiz Kacheriwala, Jabeenben Jambooghodawala, Asgharbhai Makharia, Shetal  Kothari, Sandeep Sheth & a host of other friends.

I am overjoyed to dedicate this booklet to Sara.

I did not know that life would have such colors

I did not know that I would get your rosy companionship and love

someone with whom I can open my heart freely with love

I did know that I would find someone who would know me so intimately.
