Several ISW members attended the recent Consular Facilitation Camp organized by the Medford Shivalaya Temple that helped provide onsite services like passport renewals, OCI applications, and emergency visas. It was very well organized and kudos to all the volunteers who worked really hard to help the people with free printing/scanning and notary services.  Most of the appointments ran on time, even though it was a little chaotic.  Thanks to efforts like these, it saves New Englanders a trip to New York or from mailing important documents to the Indian Consulate.  Another ISW member remarked that despite everything the volunteers were extremely courteous, and crowd control was amazing! Kudos to the organizers.
