Late Mr. Bernard Mathias. Ex President CORD
CORD is deeply saddened to announce the passing of Mr. Bernard Mathais, who led our organization with dedication and compassion for over two decades.

We received this heartbreaking news on Monday morning, October 28, and our hearts are with his beloved wife, Mandakka, his daughter Anita, son Ranjit, his grandchildren, extended family, and dear friends. We offer our sincerest prayers for their comfort and strength during this difficult time.

Mr. Mathais's unwavering commitment to supporting the underserved and tribal communities was the cornerstone of his leadership at CORD. His passion and energy in advancing our mission over the past 22 years will forever inspire us.

As we move forward, let us honor his legacy by continuing the meaningful work he championed.

Bernard, you have completed your race with grace and resilience. Rest in peace, dear friend, until we meet again.
