Overseas Volunteer for a Better India (OVBI) launched in May 2013, is driven by a group of inspired NRIS ready to support initiatives in India and tackle issues the Indian community faces in the U.S. Our movement’s roots are grounded in the Volunteer for a Better India (VBI) movement. On February 3rd, 2013 more than 100,000 concerned citizens united at Ramlila Maidan in New Delhi in response to rampant corruption, violence towards women, suicides and water shortages. On that day, in unison the group pledged to give 1 hour a day for the nation and to inspire millions of others to do so. And volunteer for a better India was born. OVBI is the overseas arm of Volunteer for Better India. We believe that every individual can make a meaningful impact and play a role in the betterment of the global Indian community. Together we can transform the world in a way that would make great leaders like Mahatma Ghandhi proud. We invite you to get involved.
Eleos Healing Global Mission is dedicated to proclaim the gospel and make disciples of Jesus Christ, to give medical care to the sick, and to be a testimony of God's love among the suffering and needy people in rural areas around the world by meeting their physical needs through medical-dental short-term missions; and in Washington, DC metropolitan area through health education, health fairs, food pantries and a bible outreach in Spanish. "Eleos" is a new testament Greek word, meaning compassion or mercy. In one example, the bible uses this word when Jesus was talking about the good samaritan (Luke 10:36-37 NIV): "which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?" The expert in the law replied, "the one who had mercy [Eleos] on him. "Jesus told him, "go and do likewise. " Each year we have sent teams of volunteers on short-term medical missions. Under his blessings, we have treated people of all ages, races and religions with over 4100 patients and preached the gospel to over 9000 people, in Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Egypt, Ethiopia, Haiti, Mexico, Peru and El Salvador.
