00:36Japan's team is associated with Bihar.

00:40I got a chance to serve in Japan Charity through her.

00:55I used to distribute medicines in villages.

00:592 villages for a month, 3 villages for a month.

01:02Sometimes 4 villages.

01:03I had a duty to distribute 1 village for a week.

01:05After seeing the distribution of medicines,

01:08all the elderly people came to me and started crying.

01:11I said that I don't have medicines.

01:13Please give me more.

01:14I am very sad.
