Agir pour Benares - a French NGO in India
Agir pour Benares, is a small French NGO i came to know about after I met its founder, Michel Batlle, in Varanasi, in February 2006. With the help of private donators, Michel opened three dispensaries in different parts of Varanasi, where free medical care is given daily to people for whom a simple visit to the doctor's or to hospital is often impossible for economical reasons. Two Indian doctors, as well as both Indian and Western nurses work full time at the dipsensaries, while groups of volunteers are busy treating minor injuries on the ghats along the Ganges, in nearby streets and in slum areas in and around the city, every morning. When cases are more severe, patients are brought to one of the dispensaries and sometimes hospital.
Many children who don't go to school, and whose parents are too busy working to look after them, are always around looking for attention, as seen here on Harichandra Ghat, Varanasi, India. 2011
