REFLECTIONS OF INDIA - HELEN ROSE SCHOOL OF NURSING

January 22, 2007 - on the UCH Campus in Umri, Maharashtra, India

REACHING OUT. The nurses training program on the campus of Umri Christian Hospital is robustly developing based on the vision of its founders--an outgoing husband and wife nurse team. Amirson and Esther Jacob recruit and equip for professional nursing young women who do not have the means to attend other nursing schools. They also reach out to brides of arranged marriages who have been abandoned by their husbands and who are at risk of suicide. The Amirson's work is inspiring!

WINNING AWARDS. Named for a Free Methodist missionary, the Helen Rose School of Nursing is certified by the government. It has received awards for its outreach and excellence. However, it is essential for the continued certification and development of Helen Rose School of Nursing that Umri Christian Hospital's facilities be replaced and its equipment upgraded.
