A dynamic veteran who has risen from extremely humble origins to soar in multiple careers, Mr. Alfonse Issadore began his professional journey in the Armed Medical Corps. It was followed by a remarkable stint in Hospital Administration that saw him retire as the Addl. Nursing Superintendent at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital in New Delhi. 

The strict discipline and punctuality picked up during the stint in the Army are among his hallmarks. 

Thanks to his positive attitude, enthusiasm to make a mark and exceptional problem-solving approach and firm faith in the Almighty, Mr. Issadore has led a balanced professional and personal life. He remains a resolute source of strength to one and all in Ek Ehsaas Foundation (EEF). 

He is ever ready to explore new avenues and pick up new learnings, his maturity and hands-on experience in the healthcare arena has been a pillar of strength for the EEF since this Trust was on the drawing board, to its take-off and the years of infancy. 

Looking at his role in the EEF, which is now in its fourth year of existence, Mr. Issadore has been a strong support in multiple ways. While stoically tackling age-related challenges with a positive outlook and deep spiritual reserves, he is a well-spring of inspiration to people of all ages in EEF and outside of the power of positivity, simplicity and sincerity in intent and efforts to conquer all odds.

Quietly, even while staying in the background, he has taken constant interest in the first steps of the fledgling organisation and always freely shared the fruits of his experience and wisdom to keep it on the right track. 

A firm believer in empowering others, Mr. Issadore always encourages everyone involved in the activities of EEF to give his very best. Not one to hesitate in taking part in EEF’s numerous gatherings and celebrations to mark the birthdays of its residents, his infectious smile, curiosity about the world at large and vast experience are an active source of inspiration and encouragement.  

A strong advocate of making the very most possible of one’s resources by avoiding wastage and carelessness, prompts him to caution us from time to time against complacence, negligence and irresponsibility, in order to take EEF to soaring heights. He exhorts all those involved in EEF’s activities to be aware of the onerous responsibility we share in taking care of the elder citizens as our own dear resources who have no one else to fend for them.  

Guided by a robust work ethic, Mr Issadore’s infectious confidence and hopeful outlook towards EEF and its immense potential rubs off on one and all. Watching him tirelessly devote all his time in spiritual activities, not just for himself and dear ones, but also for so many others of different ages and backgrounds who came into contact with him, is an object lesson in positivity and preparedness to make a concrete difference to lives around us and in society. 

As a Counsellor too, he never flinches from sharing his views on any subject, issue or challenge faced by EEF as well as of those associated with it. To sum it all up, Mr. Issadore is a harmonious blend of positivity, realism and an open, welcoming mind that is always ready to make a meaningful impact on people and the society around us. It also shows that one has the capacity to give back to society at all ages provided one has the right approach, the willingness to do so and gratefulness in the heart for the many, many good things that life has given each one of us.
