Good bye Rajpreet, hello Tasleema
Rajpreet, who has been taking care of ASTI’s website, is leaving Acid Survivors Trust International (ASTI). Raj is moving to a new challenge with Acid Survivors Trust -India – with a particular focus on the chapter in Kolkata. We wish Rajpreet great success in this very important work.
We are very pleased to welcome Tasleema back to a more formal role at ASTI. Tasleema has been a long term supporter and we are thrilled to have her taking a more active role again. Tasleema will be keeping you up-to-date with the latest news and stories.
Over the next few months we hope to bring more people and points of view to our comments and blogs. As always, we welcome your thoughts and comments.

Dear Vicky
We are sorry to hear that one of your relatives has suffered from acid burns. Unfortunately we do not provide direct financial help for individual survivors. ASTI, and the in-country ASFs, are focused on providing acid survivors ongoing medical treatment, psycho-social support and help integrating back into the community.
As mentioned in our email to you AST-India is only just getting started now in Kolkata but please contact them [acidsurvivorsindia@gmail.com] and they can give you some possible contacts in Mumbai.
Best wishes, Rick
