The Odd Bods have a long history of supporting charity groups including Raphael, the Ryder Cheshire International Centre at Dehradun, the capital of the state of Uttarakhand in India's northern region.
Raphael provides a range of disability and rehabilitation services to the disadvantaged and was set up by ex RAF Group Captain, Leonard Cheshire (Baron Cheshire VC, OM, DSO & Two Bars, DFC), and his wife, Sue Ryder (Margaret Susan Cheshire, Baroness Ryder of Warsaw and Baroness Cheshire, CMG, OBE). Shown in our photo are the three Odd Bods wards, Asma, Ankur, and Bhupinder.
Little Asma has cerebal palsy and apparently eats her midday meal by herself. Ankur has been diagnosed with autism and attends the custodial group at Raphael. Bhupinder has been performing well in his school exams and is heading for Final Board Examinations in March 2016 (and finding time to play cricket).
Friends of the Odd Bods will be continuing support for the Raphael Centre (click for more details).
