Dear friends,
On account of the stormy weather including
incessant rains over the last week in Nagpur, some trees near Azariah House in
the NCCI Campus have fallen causing extensive damage to the structure of
Azariah House.(See pictures below)
As we may know that
the house is named after the well-known Indian Church leader and ecumenist Bishop Vedanayagam Samuel Azariah (1874 – 1945), and has been used variously as conference hall, guest house, meeting place, etc.

We are celebrating the centenary of NCCI this year.
In fact, the concluding celebration is planned to be held in Nagpur during
November 6 – 10, 2014. The Azariah House facilities need to be in usable condition
as early as possible.
We urgently appeal to you to grant financial
support for repairing Azariah House and the compound wall which has collapsed
in many places. The repair work is estimated at INR Ten Lakhs (Rs. 10,00,000/-)
which is about USD 17000/-.
If Churches and ecumenical bodies contribute some
amount, we are sure that all your contributions would add up to the required
funds and enable us to carry out the needed repair.
