I cann't find any one.....

On last Saturday me & Ankit went to mohali ,but I was surprised to see that there were no children in the huts I could rarely found one or two. After some time I came to know that all the children are in school....
I was "the happy man" there since our all efforts were now in front of us. 2-3 are still left for the school, we talked to there parents and now hoping that they will send them to school.
As Nilmani told HOPE IS A GOOD THING.....I THINK BEST OF THE THING...........

The First Medical Camp- The Preparations

 Keshav:

 It was 1^st May. We had gotten over with our exams a day before and were planning to leave for home.  So we decided to visit the campus site once again for whatever we could do before we would break. There we were greeted by Didi!

Let me introduce you to Didi first. She is Dr. Anjana Sathyamurthy and she has just finished her MBBS from Manipal University. She is our director’s younger daughter. And for some weird reason, which I shall not disclose here, lest it gets too informal, we have named her ‘Didi’.

Didi told us that she came to know through Amit sir about this activity. So she decided to contribute to the cause and visited us on the Saturday. The group does not have a concrete plan as of now. And so its positive side is that we are open to any plan that is reasonable and feasible. Didi noticed that the general health of those kids was very poor. She told that all of them required de-worming and most of them had skin diseases. Moreover, they had malnutrition. She offered to give the kids a full body check up. We asked her if she could come the next day itself for the check up, and she agreed! We had finally got a direction and a plan to execute... that Saturday; she joined us to teach the kids in the shade.

Isn’t it very thoughtful to treat the kids? Do you know, none of us had earlier thought about getting a medical check up for those kids. Our aim was to educate the kids, and to interact with the kids so that they could be integrated into the mainstream and can lead a better life. The aim still remains. But now I realize that all through, we had missed an extremely important aspect- a point of view that differed from ours. We had started as a closed group, and the activity was continued for some days without telling anyone, till the time people came to know about it and we were in need of funds. That was important to lay the foundations. But as the activity grows, we should realize that we need assistance from diverse sources.

What Didi provided is simply amazing- a new view, a new plan and a new hand. Take it this way- If you have the least of pains, you become annoyed and restless and rush to doctor, or at least try to cure it yourself. But here, we have small kids who are in pain. And the worst thing, they have accepted it as part of their normal life. Its because they don’t realize that things can be much better...do you know, they had skin diseases, they had scabies, and we spotted one with an ulcer of his foot. Their feet were bruised...and none of them ever mentioned about any of that in the three months that we have known them. A new leaf was to grow in our infant tree!

The same evening, I, Amit sir and Sanjay sir rode in Sanjay sir’s Honda City(!) to the sector 19 market to buy the medicines and placed order of uniforms for the kids of the Chilla Public School. And we waited for the next day...
