CHARITY BIOGRAPHY

A church elder from Strathaven, South Lanarkshire, has published a biography of a charity founder whose work he helps to support.

Tom Sutherland is an Australian who has spent his last forty years in India devoting his life to helping the poor, the sick and the destitute people in Kerela, south India. His charity, the Banyan Tree, is supported by Health Help International (HHI), based in Wales but with an active support group in Strathaven.

Iain Park chairs the Strathaven group, which is made up mostly of members of the town’s two parish churches, and has known Tom since his first visit to Kerela in 2010.

Proceeds from the book will go to HHI and support Tom Sutherland’s work in India. It is available from www.sfhhi.org.uk/shop/
