I'm sure you must have read about the recent Magsaysay award. It will be given to Dr. Prakash Amte and Mrs. Mandakini Amte. I'm sure most of us know Dr. Amte to be son of the great Baba Amte (who himself is a Magsaysay award winner). The way Baba Amte spent his entire life serving leprosy patients in "Anandvan" project, Prakash is spending his life to work with the Madia tribe in Gadchiroli district named "Lok-Biradari".
Recently, esakal has published a very good article explaining his work (including some pictures)http://www.esakal.com/esakal/08122008/Specialnews49D05899C5.htm , I would highly request/recommend you to go through the link and pictures to know the highest quality work by this couple and many of their friends. These instances have always helped me put things into perspective when I am whining about my petty problems in my life. And thus, I wanted to share it with you all.
Here is also a link from the Magsaysay website of their citation for the Amte duo. http://www.rmaf.org.ph/Awardees/Citation/CitationAmtes.html
I hope you find these articles as intriguing as I did. Made me feel so much proud of being fellow Marathi, more so a fellow Indian. I'm sure you'll find it equally inspiring.
