On 18 March 2010 I saw this infant boy coming out of the Operation Theatre & moving in to NICU ward. Then I remembered seeing them come to our eye camp at Barsana. The very next day he was able to see fully for the first time in his life....... He became so active suddenly seeing his parents & world around him. So sad that there are so many cases that remain blind just because of cataract or other curable blindness.
This boy is Krishna Bairagi (FATHER SURESHCHANDRA BAIRAGI (GOPAL DAS) & MOTHER MAMTA BAIRAGI from ADDRESS : PITU KA NAGLA, TAHSIL-UCHHAIN, POST-BHESA, DIST.- BHARATPUR, STATE : UTTAR PRADESH. DATE OF BIRTH : 26th.JUNE,2009.)
This year we have done over 754 cataract surgeries at the Barsana eye camp. Over 24 cases were brought to Bhaktivedanta Hospital since their surgery is not possible at the camp set up for need of total general anesthesia.
I have uploaded many pictures from this camp on this group & also some on our website http://www.barsanaeyecamp.com/photogalleries/barsanaeyecamp2010
Thank you very much for all your kind support & generous donations to make it happen.
Regards,
Amol.

Old Age homes, Childen homes
I am wondering since few days that is it possible that we can get a full list of old age homes in and out of mumbai, children homes and other places who keep requiring resources.
If any one has such a list, then do provide me the link or mail it to sachinsomaiya2005@gmail.com
Post acquiring the list, my rough idea is to create a network, and find out wht resources they require and avail those.
If there is any NGO which is already doing this , please tell me about them.
Hoping to get a response.

'My river' is the theme of the competition
Excerpts from http://nilafoundation.org/sketches.htm -
What was once the life line of Kerala, is today a decaying, dying river. It is out of concern for Bharatapuzha (River Nila): the erosion of the river banks, the dilution of its culture, neglect and depletion of its resources - that the Nila Foundation was formed five years ago in Kerala.
Titled, 'Puzha Malayalam', the 400-page book is looking at a participatory model where people from different spheres of life join us in the publication of the book. As a small step towards this, we are inviting interested people through a
drawing competition from across the world to sketch the introductory pages of the fourteen chapters.
'My river' is the theme of the competition. This could be a reflection of your insights or experiences associated with rivers.This could be about rivers from any parts of the world. Use your imagination to show the role of rivers played in your life.
The winners of 14 entries will also get an opportunity to have an experiential holiday for a week along Bharatapuzha (River Nila) that gives insights into its culture, folk art forms, history, people and life.
Last date for receiving the sketch is 25th April 2010.

NGO near Mumbai Needs Help on Bakery Recipes
There is an NGO near Mumbai (Karnala Panchayat, Panvel Taluka, Raigad) named Yusuf Meharally Center. This NGO has a bakery in which they produce some bakery products including bread, cookies and rusk (toats). This bakery is run by people from nearby villages, and the products are sold locally / in Panvel.
The NGO is facing the following requirements pertaining to the bakery:
a. The bread manufactured by them expires in one day. They need to know the technique to manufacture bread that lasts long (4-5 days).
b. They know very few recipes of making cookies, currently they manufacture only 3-4 types of cookies. They want to know more recipes.
c. They want to know what other products they can manufacture in their bakery.
The NGO uses a fire-wood fuelled oven. They require marketing support and technological updragation; however, the first problem that needs to be solved is regarding the recipes.
A volunteer, who has experience in making good bakery products is required (preferably from Mumbai) is required to solve their problem.
Interested people, please contact me via email / phone

About a Dance Therapy Organisation in Calcutta
Posted by Jamuna on http://artyeast.blogspot.com/2010/02/dancing-into-empowermentdancing-towards_26.html
Excerpts:
In a verdant and quiet lane in South Kolkata, surrounded by delightfully named landmarks such as Dasnagar Pujor Math and Jodhpur Bazaar, gracefully sits a haven that nurtures many lives and souls through the art of dancing and movement. The haven is Kolkata Sanved, an organization steering towards excellence in Dance Therapy in Asia.
The team at Kolkata Sanved, supported by resource persons and advisors, dedicates itself to the exploration of dance and movement as an alternative therapeutic approach for the recovery, healing and psychosocial rehabilitation of victims of violence and trafficking, mental health patients, people suffering from HIV/AIDS and also mainstream school children. It strives towards engaging civil society and the government in generating awareness and policy changes on issues of health, education, trafficking, sexual violence, and HIV/AIDS. Kolkata Sanved relies on the powerful medium of dance to convey and communicate messages of social importance to the masses who may not necessarily want to read pamphlets, posters or listen to speeches.
It is invaluably insightful to sense what movement can do to our bodies, where, how much and how! It is nothing less than a magical feeling, the assurance of being "beautiful", "capable" and "powerful" that comes with allowing one's body to move and sway, swing and hang, turn and twist! As a facilitator, I have experimented with creative methodologies such as role-playing, story-telling, collage-making, painting and puppetry.
This video is an excellent glimpse into the rhythmic and harmonious endeavors of Kolkata Sanved...
They are inspiring in their moves and display skills of being excellent facilitators who encourage self-acceptance, healing, confidence and empowerment in the groups they work with. Through its curriculum, "Sampurnata", men and women are trained to become future leaders who will implement dance therapy in their own communities.
Sanved has been the winner of the prestigious "Beyond Sport" award in the "Best Project for Health" category for the year 2009. While it wins accolades and mentions in the press, its real accolades remain the unique joy experienced by people as they discover the harmony and rhythm hidden in their own bodies, the beauty of there being and acknowledgement of the power that lies within.
