about McLeod
From Dave: For a wonderful informative blog thank you. For the volunteer centre website thank you. I'm visiting india for 5 months in September and really look forward to the north of India. Dave. I am glad you found my blog useful. Do volunteer, as they need our help. The buiding next to and in front of where HOPE holds their meeting have oppotunities for volunteering also. One of them is for ex-human rights prisoners only.
