Change is inevitable. Sometimes its good, sometimes not so much and sometimes you wish you could just be standing still. But whether we like it or not, it happens to us all. At Oasis, we've had our fair share of change - and then some. Change in office space, change in staffing, change in technology and change in strategy and programmes and ways of working. While some changes are easier to cope with and have come about as a logical sequence in course of time, others have been intentional much-deliberated decisions and have been harder to willingly accept.

However, what helps us get through them are the things that remain constant. Our ethos, ideology and what makes us who we are - the non-negotiables. We're inspired by the life, message and example of Jesus Christ through whom God's unconditional love for all people is expressed. Our belief stems from that inspiration. We believe in inclusion; in consciously seeking out and including those who are excluded. We believe in integration; in caring for the needs of the whole person and whole community within their environments. We believe in innovation; in new ideas and approaches. We believe in excellence; in doing whatever we do, to the best of our ability.

Over the next few months, there will be a change in our programme at Igatpuri owing to several constraining factors. We realise our limitations and constraints but as we move forward in times of change, our inspiration, our values and our beliefs are what drives us to continue to make a difference to people and the communities they're part of.
