April Newsletter of Rotary Eclub of Dist 3170.

How things work on time.

A discussion over the group

(Rotarians for Hearing-Rotary Action

Group) on facebook turned out a

wonderful project.

Master Sahil a young boy came to our

Centre with complaints of hearing

loss.

He was screened free of charge by the

Audiometer sent by our fellow

member PP Lyn of Rotarians for

Hearing Rotary Action Group.

Test report confirmed severe hearing loss and

I requested my ENT Surgeon friend Dr Sunil

to take this boy for further evaluation and

treatment. On further evaluation, it was

noticed that due to a past injury, there was a

deformity and he needed urgent surgery.

Treatment cost was a factor as this boy’s

father is a temporary worker in one of the

companies and they live in a remote village.

On my request Dr Sunil waived off his

surgical fee and we collected some funds to

meet hospital expenses.

Sahil was operated successfully and

was discharged and is recovering fast.

Kindly visit www.ifrahl.org for more

details on Rotarians for Hearing-Rotary

Action Group.

We joined hands with Volunteers at Polio Booth in Sector-40, Gurgaon.

We immunized kids with Polio Drops and distributed Rotary Balloons sent by Rotary Friends from Australia and shared

caps with Volunteers. M V Santhosh and his wife Akshatha S Rao who are on their way to tour India on bicycle to spread

awareness about “Suicide Prevention” joined us on Polio Ravivar.

We would like to thank AG Rtn. Linda Bertuzzi from RID 5300, for bringing the End Polio T shirt during her visit to

India on NID.

Lunch to Volunteers was provided by our Rotary E-Club.

Celebrations on Charter Day( 27th April)

Sunday the 27th of April was even more special for us as we celebrated our

Club’s Charter Day with kids studying at partime school-Umeed

Students marked the occasion with cake cutting ceremony and distribution of

sweets.

We had the opportunity to celebrate our fellow E-Club member Rtn Alex’s

birthday also.

The young couple M V Santhosh and his wife Akshatha S Rao

joined us for the celebrations and they made it memorable by

teaching some dance steps to the kids and making a beautiful

presentation for them.

It really brought lot of joy for the kids and we could not ask for

a better celebration for this special day.
