Sister Lucy receiving the coveted '' at the hands of President Pranab Mukerjee.

Prime Minister having a word with the awardees A Word from the Sister

A very prominent event in Maher's life in last six months is the presentation of the Nari Shakti Award to it at the hands of 's President. It was the first time Maher's work was recognised in the highest portals of government. Though the award is individual, I regard it as a due recognition of efforts of all Maherites- Maher friends, staff, benefactors, children, women, the press and almost everyone who supported Maher's cause directly or indirectly. Through this Word, I thank them all and hope that their bond with Maher will grow stonger in years to come. A string of awards and felicitations has followed the conferment of the Nari Shakti Award. I wish to thank all who thought Maher deserved these honours. I feel happy accepting them since it helps Maher to reach even larger population where a tear or two needs to be wiped. However Maher is blessed with many a gem who deserves such kudos. One of them is Hirabegum Mulla, Maher President, who was this year's recipient of the FICCI Ladies Organisation Award. I congratulate her on this distinction and wish her all the best in her dedication and leadership of Maher. For Maher investment in its own people is of utmost importance. With this in view, it sent three of its associates -Dr. Pradeep Sharma, Trustee, Dr. Hemant Devasthali, Hon, Advisor , Mr. Sandeep Mhetre, Social Worker, accompanied by two of Maher friends- to attend a programme at the Hartheim Institute, Austria. The participants found the programme to be one of the most rewarding ones they ever attended. The association of Maher with the Hartheim Institute will shortly complete 10 years. Much of the credit for this happy fellowship between the two institutions goes to Dr. Wolfgang Schwaiger, a long-time Maher friend and a man of unlimited energy and affection. I thank him for everything he is for Maher. Maher has always followed ethical standards in finanacial matters. But now this is on record. GuideStar India, the rating agency, which certifies NGOs based on their level of transparency and public accountability after a rigorous scrutiny of documents, has awarded Maher the NGO TransparencyAward 2016. This has certainly been a matter of great satisfaction. The untimely demise of Jenny Draxlbauer at the age of 32 has shocked every Maherite and left them wondering why such precious life was snatched away from them so abruptly. She will always be in my prayer. It is always a matter of great pleasure to see Maher children and women wean away from Maher support and settle in life independently on their own. Yet it is equally important for Maher that they retain their bond with Maher and be with Maher in further accomplishing its goals. Kiran, the association of ex-Mahermates, has decided to meet more often and further consolidate itself. I wish them all best. Maher is in its 20th year. Next year in February it will complete two decades of its social commitment. Yet there are many more miles to go. In that journey we will need to be helped and I am sure the help will always be at hand.

Sister planting a sapling in memory of Jenny Yes, Jenny will always be in our heart It was with utter numbness and shock that Maherites received the recent marriage in the presence of Sister Lucy and Maher children news of the death of Jenny Draxlbauer, a close Maher friend and and women. That death came to her at the tender age of 32 further supporter, on 7 April 2016.

Maher joins Jenny's friends and relatives in their grief and prays that her soul may ever rest in peace. Sister Lucy has very aptly expressed her feelings about Jenny in her condolence letter to her friends and colleagues. Following are some of the excerpts from her letter. 'It's with a heavy heart that I share with you the untimely passing of our dear Jenny Draxlbauer. Since her first visit to Maher in her teens, Jenny has been a tireless champion for Maher everywhere she went and a source of loving support for me. Jenny was so gentle that she had a nature of an angel and would do anything for Maher. She came to Maher often, staying several months at a time and visiting all of the Maher homes and forming deep friendships with the children and adults wherever she went. Whether in India, Austria or the U.K., she worked tirelessly for Maher organizing events, designing Maher website and brochures, coordinating events, and more. Jenny took great joy in introducing her friends to Maher and in working with the teachers and students at the Vienna International School for Maher.Yet she never waited for appreciation or expected recognition. Because Jenny loved India's cultural traditions, she and her husband Richard celebrated their recent marriage in an Indian ceremony at Maher's National Center in January. Last night, Memorial and Prayer Services for Jenny were held at all of the Maher homes. During the tearful gathering at Vadhu, I explained that as sad as we are all at Jenny's passing, I knew she would never want Maher's children to be sad. Because of their close connection to Jenny, the children have had many questions about Jenny's sudden passing and we are taking great care to talk and be with them during this time of loss and grief. Jenny will always live in the hearts of all at Maher. Please join me and the Maher family in remembering Jenny's beautiful spirit of life. We offer our deepest condolences to Jenny's husband Richard, who will always have a home at Maher. We wish to extend special comfort to her mother, Sylvie, who has been so kind to Maher over the years. We are holding Jenny's entire family and all who love her in our thoughts and prayers.'
