Chandra Pauline Daniel

Psalm 116:15 "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints."
Dr. Chandra Pauline Daniel, 50, went home to be with her Lord and Savior on July 15, 2024. She was the beloved wife of Reuben Daniel.
Born in Benghazi, Libya, on March 18, 1974, Chandra Pauline was the daughter of W.B. Dinakar Paul and Pamela Dinakar.
Chandra, Ph.D., Dr.P.H., served as a representative of the United Nations Association-USA and as one of the Global Goals Ambassadors for the UN's Sustainable Development Goals. Recently, she completed a doctoral program in Public Health at New York Medical College. She was a research team member of the Public-Private Analytic Exchange Program (AEP), which is jointly organized by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the Office of Intelligence and Analysis, and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI). She had a passion for helping children with HIV in third-world countries and rehabilitating substance abusers. Her work was featured extensively in the media and incorporated by the World Health Organization (WHO). Most importantly, Chandra devoted her life to Christ and dedicated it to serving others. Tulip New Life Trust, a home she founded for those with HIV/AIDS, transformed many lives both physically and spiritually.
