This was a unique interfaith program for the cause of Thalassemia patients. Dr. Shah, Ambassador - Parliament of the World's Religions was so inspired by the success of the donation drive that he has decided to host one every three months and has formed an interfaith committee dedicated to supporting Thalassemia patients through this work.
