Adharshila - the school: April 2007

One of the more complicated procedures.

Re-freshed vision.

The thrilled and happy expression on this persons' face was an indication of the accolades received by Malvika and Saurabh for their effort.

This individual was unable to read and was having a lot of problems undertaking his daily work, till the time he came to the camp.

Heres Saurabh adminstering the medicine. He was at it for the two days!! There was a huge amount of medicine which was distributed at no cost to the people who needed them - all because of the efforts put in by Saurabh and Malvika to procure the medicine.

The number of people who needed vision check and recommendation on next steps was high and predominently women and old folks, probably due to their inability to travel to towns for the check-up.

100 plus people had to be examined on this and given a new "view" of the world.

The eye camp and clinic was a super success !

The 2 days were action packed and addressed the needs of over 300 people around the village of Kohra. The people who attended the free camp, besides the students of Adharshila, were kids of all ages, lots of women and old folk - who do not travel to the towns for treatment.

Dr. Malvika and Saurabh work long hours (much longer than initially envisaged) to address the huge rush of people.

Please await the detailed update and the photo album !!

Eye camp publicity and planning pangs.

As the days of the eye camp draws closer, so does the need to tie up the loose ends. There is a lot of intrest and exictment amongst the local population who want to attend this free eye camp.

Malviya and Saurabh are pulling together the needed medicine while we have purchased the trial set and and other equipment needed for the testing of the eyes. Malvika also managed to take time off from her hospital shedule in New Delhi for the two days.

We are relying on some basic publicity (banners) and a strong viral and word of mouth generated by students, their parents and villagers at large. The coverage is abot 10 villages in the vicinity of Kohra.

The camp is sheduled for half day on 14th and half day on 15th, however, we are not very sure as to how many people would we be able to address besides the 151 students. The plan is to try and do a screening with about 250 people.

Will keep everyone informed of the outcome soon.

Eye Camp and Clinic at Adharshila on 14th and 15th April

After much discussion and debate, we have decided to take the SSMF initiative to the next level and try and look at going a step beyond education to try and assist more people from the area. Friends of the foundation - Dr. Malvika Gupta and Saurabh Shrivastava, have come forward to take this noble cause forward.

Saurabh has been involved with the foundations' activities since the inception, and since their marraige only 2 months ago, his wife Malvika has joined in the cause as well. Malvika is a practising doctor with a specialization in Othomology.

With Malvika's area of expertise and the crying need of help on the ground, we have decided to set-up an eye camp and clinic in Kohra on the 14th and 15th of this month. We would all be travelling over to Kohra along with Saurabh and Malvika to make this activity a big success.
