Samparc Balgram & Hostel Ground

31^st January to 2^nd February

“He used to cry because he had no shoes,
And then he met a man who had no feet”

For several years, the club hosts its Medical camps on the premises of Samparc Balgram & Hostel, in Lonavala. This is primarily to enable villagers and the genuinely needy, to avail of the free limbs and hearing aids given by the club.

The Samparc staff do an excellent job of publicizing the camp in advance, so there is a constant stream of patients. At 9.30 am, villagers had already reached the venue, awaiting the doctor and free treatment for their problem.

This year, the turnout of patients was exceptionally good from Day One. We partnered with Mahavir Viklang Seva Sangh for the Jaipur Foot. They send their van & technicians in advance, to set up their workshop to cater to the several unfortunates who come.

The photos below tell the story better than words. Please read the captions under the photos.

A total of 406 patients came, of which 365 were fitted with artificial limbs or given walking aids. Some patients did not have the required documents, or the doctor and technicians felt the equipment would not be of use to them.

ALL THE PATIENTS & THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS WERE FED AT THE CAMP.

RUCHIKA CLUB BEARS THE ENTIRE COST OF THE JAIPUR FOOT CAMP.

THE COLLECTION FROM OUR EXHIBITION IS USED
