Eamonn Littrean

Blessed with a generous heart, my big brother Eamonn never saw shortcomings in others and always managed to find enough to share with those in need. As a multi tasker he was always involved in some project or new idea, seldom sitting idle for long. His presence was always welcomed and I invite you to share your stories / photos with the rest of us as we remember the "Good Spirit" that he was. RIP Big Brother.

Mina Deshpande

Dear All, As you know, our beloved Aai left for the heavenly abode on 8th October 2025. Coming from a small village - she indeed came a long way living across different countries and playing a diverse set of roles so very elegantly in her lifetime. After meeting all the family and friends and visiting our ancestral temples in Goa, she passed away peacefully in her sleep. We cannot thank God Almighty enough for blessing her with such a serene departure from this planet. She possessed innumerable qualities and always believed in managing her own tasks without seeking any help from anyone and that was also evident when she breathed her last. We would refrain from saying that she will be dearly missed as “she continues to live on in every single breath of ours”. We humbly request that you write your memories and upload any pictures of Mina Deshpande to celebrate her life and times. Kindly avoid writing anything about her bereavement. Thank You Sanjay, Chitra, Kamal, Vinay, Angad, Simran, & Shloka (Baba also joins us in requesting your support)

Zoe Rosé Sánchez, 17, passed away on September 25, 2025, in Corpus Christi, Texas, after a courageous nearly nine-year battle with leukemia. Born on May 20, 2008, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and diagnosed with leukemia on October 5th, 2016, Zoe brought light and laughter into the lives of those around her from the very beginning. Zoe was a senior in high school at the time of her passing and had already achieved so much. She earned a place on the principal’s honor roll and was known for her dedication both in and out of the classroom. A spirited cheerleader throughout elementary, middle, and high school, Zoe’s energy and enthusiasm were infectious. Her love for performance extended beyond the sidelines—at age ten, she joined choir and discovered a passion for music that stayed with her. Her vibrant personality shone through in everything she did. Zoe had a bubbly spirit that could lift any room and a sassy sense of humor that made her unforgettable. Whether she was dancing and singing along to Selena’s “Como La Flor,” watching volleyball matches with excitement, or indulging in her favorite food—pizza—Zoe embraced life with joy and flair. She also enjoyed skiing and hockey, finding thrill and freedom in movement. In moments when life felt overwhelming, Zoe found solace in creativity. She created a TikTok account under the name “zoe_obv,” using it as an outlet to express herself and connect with others while navigating the challenges of her illness. Zoe is deeply loved by her family: her mother Elena Perez-Sánchez; her father Miguel Sánchez; and her younger sister Jacklyn Sánchez. Their bond was strong and filled with shared memories that will be cherished forever. A funeral service to honor Zoe’s life was held on October 1, 2025, in Corpus Christi, Texas. Though Zoe’s time was far too short, her impact will be felt for years to come. Her strength, humor, and radiant presence touched everyone who knew her. May her memory bring comfort to those who carry her in their hearts

Mamadou Sarr

In tribute to the memory of Mr. Mamadou Sarr, former Director of CorpsAfrica/Senegal (2016-2021) It is with heavy hearts and profound sadness that CorpsAfrica/Senegal announces the passing of its former Director, Mr. Mamadou Sarr, who led the program with commitment and vision from 2016 to 2021. A man of many dimensions, Mr. Sarr was much more than a manager: he was an inspiring leader, a thoughtful mentor, and a tireless builder. Under his enlightened leadership, CorpsAfrica/Senegal made significant progress and durably anchored its mission in service to Senegalese communities. His human-centered approach, combined with remarkable professional rigor, enabled hundreds of volunteers to thrive and positively impact the areas where they were deployed. Through his quiet charisma and wisdom, Mr. Sarr knew how to unite energies and embody the values of solidarity, humility, and sharing that are dear to CorpsAfrica. Beyond his management skills, he will be remembered as a man of integrity, deeply devoted to the youth and the development of his country. During this time of mourning, we extend our deepest condolences to his family, loved ones, friends, and to all who, like us, were fortunate enough to cross his path and benefit from his light. May his soul rest in peace. His legacy will continue to inspire our work. CorpsAfrica/Senegal
