Beneficiaries for March 2010 - 95
Project #1
Day-to-Day Basic needs for a Visually Challenged Women’s Home @ Mylapore, Chennai
For March 2010 month’s event, we visited Lotus Blind Welfare Trust of India, which was formed in 2002 by eight visually challenged persons, with the aim to support the Visually Challenged girl students hailing from poor rural families who come to Chennai for their further studies. At present, the organization takes care of 50 visually challenged students. This home provides free food, shelter, medical care and other basic needs to its inmates. These girls are studying in various government colleges in and around Chennai in various disciplines such as English, History, Tamil, etc. As per their request we provided Rain Coats, Bath Soaps, Washing Soaps, Hair Oils, Tooth Brushes, Tooth Pastes, Shampoos, Washing Brushes and Soap Boxes. We also provided them a Special Lunch along with Biscuits and Ice Creams. We conducted a Reading Session (Volunteer will read out the required lessons from the college subjects for the Visually Challenged Students), which lasted for nearly 3 hours with 30 volunteers participating eagerly and was found to be very useful by the visually challenged. We conducted Anthakshari and few other games to entertain them.
Project #2
Reverse Osmosis Water Purifier for a Poor / Orphan Children’s Home @ Nemilichery, Chennai.
Gandhiji Rehabilitation Centre, Nemilichery, Chennai (A Shelter Home for Poor / Orphan Children) takes care of nearly 25 inmates; almost all of them are poor / orphan / semi-orphan. This home provides free food, shelter, medical care and other basic needs of life to the inmates, besides providing school education to the inmates of the home. During our February 2010 Monthly Event visit to this home, we came to know that the water that they have currently is not suitable for drinking. So, they are using Mineral Water for drinking and it costs nearly Rs. 2,000/- per month. Hence, we provided a Reverse Osmosis Water Purifier for this home for good and safe drinking water for the children.
Project #3
Unpaid Rent for a month provided for a Poor/Orphan Children/Old Aged/Mentally Retarded/ Handicapped Home (April 2010)
We already know this home (“Perumal – Subbaiah Memorial Orphan, Children, Old Aged and Handicapped Home – Karunai Illam”, with 20 inmates) and have already provided a month’s provision in May 2009 & August 2009 to this home and also paid rent of this home during September 2009 – March 2010. They are struggling to pay their rent. So, we provided this month’s rent for this home. (April 2010).
