To make the connection between local language and English language is left to other students who are from English medium schools. Sudha sat with me during few weekends to understand 'Clauses and Phrases'. Apparently, these subjects were not handled in her English classes.

Unfortunately, our dear friend Nagaraju has been diagnosed with Lung Cancer. </font></div> <br><div><span style="font-size:12.727272033691406px;font-family:arial,sans-serif">It all started in late November when Raju got diagnosed with Pneumonia followed by TB. As you all know that he comes from a very humble background so he was on D.O.T.S program run by Indian government in which they offer free TB medicines to patients. After nearly three months of that medication, his health did not seem to have improved and twice doctors had to drain out fluid from his lungs or areas adjacent to lungs. Last week he was asked to undergo biopsy after which the findings said, "</span><span style="font-size:13px;color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:'lucida grande',tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;line-height:17px">adenocarcinoma".</span><font face="arial, sans-serif"> The type that he has is common amongst non-smokers. The reports claim that he did not have TB but lung cancer.</font></div> <div><font face="arial, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="arial, sans-serif">The doctor's have also said that it is an advanced stage of cancer and depending on his current condition he has six months period for any possible treatment. Our friend Raju is in need for financial assistace as in order to take quick action he needs to begin chemotherapy sessions from April 10. He has to take six cycles in the span of six months and after his body reacts to first three cycles the doctors will asses his health condition accordingly. With every cycle costing about Rs 40,000 and considering other living, medicine and diet expense we need to gather approx Rs 4 lakh. </font></div> <div><font face="arial, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="arial, sans-serif">I humbly request to each one of you to come forward and help our friend Raju with any amount possible. Also, if you know of any charitable institution or know person who wants to volunteer to help please let me know. I can forward them his scanned reports for verification process. As we are in urgent need of cash , I have mentioned below his bank details to carry out NEFT. I have also mentioned his home address. </font><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif">Also if you guys know any renowned Oncologist who would volunteer to give second opinion, I can forward his reports to them too.</span></div> <div><font face="arial, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="arial, sans-serif">Currently, Raju is in Hyderabad staying in his friend's hostel and making rounds of government hospital daily. He has given his regards to all of you!</font></div> <div><font face="arial, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div>I have attached his reports.</div><div><br></div><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12.727272033691406px"><div><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:12.727272033691406px"><b>THANK YOU</b> all for your support.

Ramesh (48) is a taxi driver who earns just enough to feed his family and one can imagine how difficult it is nowadays to take care of a four-member family. He has his wife Smt. Vijaya and 2 kids - studying in 11th and 2nd standard. Like any other parents, this couple also has pinned a lot of hopes on their kids and they also know that ensuring a secure and bright future for their children depends solely on giving them education to the maximum extent possible. </span></div><div style="text-align:justify" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Tahoma"></span> </div><div style="text-align:justify" class="MsoNormal"> <span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Tahoma">Both Ramesh and Vijaya toil for long hours without any reluctance. Smt Vijaya started working as a home assistant / part time cook in a few Brahmin households in the city. Mr. Ramesh goes on trip calls as and when it comes and Smt. Vijaya does her routine rounds every day in the morning. The family lives in a small house at Palkulangara. It is a rented house.</span></div><div style="text-align:justify" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Tahoma"></span> </div><div style="text-align:justify" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Tahoma">But, Smt. Vijaya had a neck problem in March 2012. Though it was initially dismissed as strain, it kept aggrevating and later an MRI scan was done and it was found that there is a grave problem in the vein adjacent to the spinal cord and the doctor opined that she should undergo an emergency surgery which is essential to save her from permanent disability. The initial procedure was done with the support of friends and family members. Unfortunately by the time it was done Smt. Vijaya's left leg had got paralyzed due to the impact of the problem. </span></div><div style="text-align:justify" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Tahoma"></span> </div><div style="text-align:justify" class="MsoNormal"> <span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Tahoma">This came to KIT's attention and after due diligence, <u>with all your support - KIT provided funds for her treatment by paying Rs.75000 in April 2012.</u> </span></div> <div style="text-align:justify" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Tahoma"></span> </div><div style="text-align:justify" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Tahoma"><strong>Come December 2012... </strong></span></div><div style="text-align:justify" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Tahoma"><strong></strong></span> </div> <div style="text-align:justify" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Tahoma">The family's relief was short-lived.

After thorough check up, doctors reported that she's suffering from cervical disectomy (Doctor Letter is with KIT records) and for that one more corrective surgery is a must, that too to be done at the earliest. Specialist Doctors reported that Vijaya's case is very unfortunate as she's suffering from cervical disectomy, weakening of bones. But it can be set right with a sophisticated surgery for which, it costs around 1.5 lakhs. </span></div><div style="text-align:justify" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Tahoma"></span> </div><div style="text-align:justify" class="MsoNormal"> <span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Tahoma">It's really very ill-timed and unbearable for Vijaya's family. While the family is slowly returning to normal life, this second treatment course cannot be even imagined by them. It's really a pathetic situation for them. All their known sources of support have already been channelized for the 1st phase. Now, the family is really shaken and is left isolated due to the present situation. </span></div><div style="text-align:justify" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Tahoma"></span> </div><div style="text-align:justify" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Tahoma">Vijaya has been advised to go in for another surgery which, it is hoped, will bring her back to an active life.</span></div> <div style="text-align:justify" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Tahoma"></span> </div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Tahoma;font-size:10pt">===========================================</span><span style="font-family:Tahoma;font-size:10pt"> </span><div class="MsoNormal"> <b><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Tahoma"></span></b> <div class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Tahoma">What KIT found:</span></b><span style="font-family:Tahoma;font-size:10pt"></span><div style="text-align:justify" class="MsoNormal"> <span style="font-family:Tahoma;font-size:10pt"></span> </div><span style="font-family:Tahoma;font-size:10pt"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;font-size:10pt"><div style="text-align:justify" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Tahoma">Sri Chitra Thirunal hospital offers the same surgery at about 75% rate (disc is costly) of which the private hospital estimated, but the other expenses have to be borne by the family. Here SCT will consider the patients on a priority basis, it is impossible to get the date of surgery in short time. Moreover the doctor who is handing her case presently has offered to do the surgery without his fee.

<br>
<br>Dear Kiran,
<br>
<br>I'm part of a fundraising effort for an organization called Ummeed.
<br>I'm doing this because I have a personal interest in this: our
<br>daughter Surabhi (now nearly 9) is dyslexic and Ummeed has been a
<br>great help to us in diagnosis, treatment and advice. While I'm
<br>naturally anxious about how she will cope, Ummeed is the reason I'm
<br>confident that she will.
<br>
<br>And this is why I think Ummeed's work is important. And yet they reach
<br>only a fraction of all the children in Bombay with developmental
<br>disabilities: the need, as ever, outstrips the capacity to serve it.
<br>And this is why I signed up to do this fundraiser for Ummeed.
<br>
<br>Admittedly I'm no good at this. I've never done it before. I mean,
<br>I've never run/walked/biked/cartwheeled for a cause before, I've never
<br>asked for pledges/donations like this before, and I've never walked
<br>55km on a beach in one day before. (About 45 km one day through the
<br>forests of Madagascar, but that's a story for another day).
<br>
<br>But I'm doing all that now. With some 20-25 others, I'm going to walk
<br>up and down the 27km+ length of a Goa beach -- totalling about 55km --
<br>on January 12 2013.
<br>
<br>So it's this simple: I need your support to help me complete that
<br>trek. I need your support to help Ummeed in its work. I'd be grateful
<br>for pledges/donations in any amount at all. And if you contribute, I
<br>promise to carry your name on a small label on my person. (I've
<br>stocked up on pins).
<br>
<br>I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks so much.
<br>
<br>cheers,
<br>dilip.

<br>
<br>PS #3: Some details about Ummeed:
<br>It was started by an old friend, Vibha Krishnamurthy, to work with
<br>children with developmental disabilities (which is her
<br>specialization). In the past year Ummeed has provided direct services
<br>to over 1000 families of such children. Their goal has always been to
<br>create best practices, and also work on advocacy, research, and
<br>sharing their knowledge through training.
<br>
<br>Some Ummeed highlights of the past year:
<br>
<br>* They established a brand new social work team to serve low-income
<br>families, including educating them about the rights of children with
<br>developmental disabilities and taking patient advocacy to another
<br>level.
<br>
<br>* They benefited thousands of children indirectly by training staff of
<br>eight organizations to work with children with developmental
<br>disabilities and their families through their Child Development Aide
<br>(CDA) program and Mental Health training program.
<br>
<br>* They also ran several shorter training programs for schools and NGOs
<br>working with children at risk for disabilities.
<br>
<br>However, there are still so many children and families with little or
<br>no access to care. Ummeed remains committed to reaching out to them in
<br>different ways.Kiran Manralhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03696017945405731139noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4275474361835522132.post-26036189849180696992012-12-06T18:47:00.001-08:002012-12-06T18:47:03.333-08:00Help save a little boy's life<p class="mobile-photo"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSNGobYR5suzTcR5gvhqY7RVbtPxIzvo1LS2HOOcB5iUhtdyppdO1j3ySz4HOXQ10fVSYbq74l5oGgOaG2SHVPMIyFjMNg_ZZYOY1_Y05zCoh70LKPYml6J3xVM3zl9_WgSIiDpc8t7zY/s1600/prbhat+bagchi-723334.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSNGobYR5suzTcR5gvhqY7RVbtPxIzvo1LS2HOOcB5iUhtdyppdO1j3ySz4HOXQ10fVSYbq74l5oGgOaG2SHVPMIyFjMNg_ZZYOY1_Y05zCoh70LKPYml6J3xVM3zl9_WgSIiDpc8t7zY/s320/prbhat+bagchi-723334.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5819029672749134626" /></a></p>This is a verified case.

<br> OF A VILLAGE
<br>
<br> SUPPORT MAHAK,AN ENDEAVOUR TO PROVIDE BASIC LITERACY TO GIRL CHILDREN
<br>OF A VILLAGE
<br>
<br> Mahak is the name of a voluntary non-profit education institute
<br>set-up by Ahambhumika to facilitate education the daughters of
<br>labourers of the village of Mahabadia, Bhopal. Mahak is an extra
<br>effort meant to assist educating girls in the rural areas where their
<br>education usual takes a backseat for more reasons than one. At Mahak
<br>we are making basic efforts to spread literacy among the daughters of
<br>the labourers of Mahabadia, who otherwise would've never been able to
<br>go to school. Usually such girls are supposed to take care of the
<br>house at younger age when their parents are off to work and join their
<br>parents in their labour to earn an extra penny when they get older. We
<br>began by trying to convince the parents about the benefits of
<br>educating their daughter and how it would help them in housework as
<br>well as their labour in future. We explained how they'll be able to
<br>demand a better pay for their labour if they are educated enough.
<br>After a lot of persuasion most of them agreed to send their daughters
<br>to our literacy centre for a short period of two hours everyday from
<br>3:00 pm to5:00pm.With an initial start-off of 22 girls from the age
<br>group of 5 to 12,Mahak has been a decent success till now.At present
<br>there are 30 girl children . We have started with teaching them
<br>reading and writing Hindi and basic Arithmetic and hope to progress in
<br>this as well. We have also started drawing and painting activity to
<br>make this initiative child friendly. To keep continue this activity
<br>smoothly we are making efforts to raise fund for the following
<br>requirements:-
<br>
<br>We need Rs.1200=00 for the purchase of stationery materials for the 30
<br>girl children. ( An average expenditure of Rs.40=00 is incurred to
<br>provide each girl child stationery materials every month)
<br>
<br>We need Rs.1500=00 for the purchase of drawing materials for 30 girl
<br>children (An average expenditure of Rs.50=00 is incurred to provide
<br>each girl child drawing materials every month)
<br>
<br>We are also aiming to start vocational activities like stiching, block
<br>printing, embroidery & doll making for the girl children which
<br>require fund .
<br>
<br> Please feel free to contribute as per your convenience. You may
<br>further support us by spreading words to the like minded people.
<br>This will be a great help for us. As our organization is not funded by
<br>any corporate or government. All our initiatives are taken up with the
<br>support of individual contribution only. At the moment we need support
<br>of people to contribute for the stationery articles,drawing materials
<br>. We will update our generous donors about our activities via mail
<br>and newsletter alongwith with photographs from time to time. The
<br>people interested to support us may please mail us at

Do vote for this if you support the girl child. <br><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div><a href="http://www.gwln-contest.strutta.com/entry/265634" style="color:rgb(17,85,204)" target="_blank">http://www.gwln-contest.strutta.com/entry/26563</a></div> <br>Hi Kiran.<br><br>How art thou?! Long time!<br> <br>You know about Aarti Home, the NGO I volunteer with? Well, we are trying to get something called Impact Awards - it is decided based on the number of votes it gets online. This will give us enough money for food for our children at the orphanage for a year. This as you know is our most basic need.<br> <br>Sandhya Aunty (who is the founder-president) has been working for the girl child for 20 years now. She has pumped in huge amounts of her own money and continues do do so, and her energy and commitment to the cause - it has to seen to be believed. <br> <br>She is a normal person like you and me - used to hold a teaching job, had two daughters (one of who was my IIT batchmate) and ran a house always full of visiting relatives and friends. What is different about her is that she has saved at least a few thousand girl babies from being killed or sold and abused, helped hundreds of students who did not have money to study further, helped thousands of women earn their own money and explained to lakhs why a girl is as good as a boy. I can go on and on about her team's selflessness - something I have personally experienced, truly a very rare thing in today's world. They have spread it so much that it has actually impacted the gender ratio in Kadapa district.<br> <br>As you know, Aarti runs an orphanage for abandoned girls, a school for kids who cannot pay fees, a skills development program to make women able to earn their own money and therefore dignity, and many many programs to tell folks why the girl child deserves to live with dignity.<br> <br>Folks in Kadapa district recognise this and there are long queues there wanting to vote, however they are unable to do so because of erratic electricty and pathetic net connection.<br><br>So a request - please can you vote and help get us votes via your blog and FB? Also tell other people?<br> <br>It is a super simple process - just click on this link above after signing into FB, click on 'Vote for this Entry' and you are done! We need to do this in the next one week.<br>Please help!<br>Thanks & cheers,<br> N<br></div><br> Kiran Manralhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03696017945405731139noreply@blogger.com0
