In April, when India battled unprecedented crisis with the disastrous unfolding of the 2nd wave of the Covid mutant and Kolkata struggled along with the rest of the countryand facing an oxygen cylinder shortage MaitreePdx teamed up with MUKTI (https://muktiweb.org/about-us/), to provide support to help organize and manufacture oxygen concentrators (cost pp 50,000 INR or 668USD). This would mean giving life and breath in the truest sense of the term. Our friends and patrons joined hands at this critical hour and supported us.MaitreePDX thanks you all for you open heart.
