Differently Abled

Ed and his family are very much part of Sethu. It is the family's wish that gifts honouring Ed's memory should be used for our work at Sethu - a place he loved and believed in. Ed, at one time, very much part of our team, guided us with his superior expertise and in-depth knowledge. It is a testament to Ed that his wish was to help others on his passing. His Sethu family are truly humbled and honoured by his family's wonderful gesture at an incredibly difficult time. Immense gratitude to the Chowdhury family, Ed's friends, colleagues and well-wishers. Our hearts and condolences go out to Nora, Ella, Sachi and Max may they take solace in the many wonderful memories the family shared.
