Good morning friends.  My son Shivam  Patel graduated.  Here you can see the picture of their class wearing toga.  They are those who graduated in Pre-primary Convocation 2008-2009.  They graduated in St. Kabir School in Ahmedabad.  A good school.  They all look cute there.  My son is there 4th kid starting from the left.  I just remember my younger days.  It’s good to  be a kid.  When my son will grow older, I will teach him what I’m doing with the medical camp we have.  I always carry him with me whenever I go to Matar and have that medical camp.  I want him to be aware of what is happening there, what I’m doing there, what other people do there.  I’m sure he will be like me when he grows old.

Creating Chetna’ on safe motherhood

Good Evening friends,

 

I am going to matar as tomorrow is second Sunday of April. Manav Parivar is going to organizer their roution medical camp and I am going to give my free service over there. I read something interesting on times of india website. I like to share that news with you all. CHETNA, a ahmedabad base NGO is taking action towards safe motherhood.

 

More than 60% of pregnant women in Gujarat between 15 and 49 years are anaemic. Highlighting the barriers in maternal health in state and country, centre for health education, training and nutrition awareness (CHETNA), a non-government organisation based in Ahmedabad conducted a study and has listed lack of transport for medical access, high medical cost and other socio-cultural factors resulting into the poor state of maternal health.

 

This was done in relation with safe motherhood initiative, a world-wide effort that aims to reduce the number of deaths and illnesses associated with pregnancy and childbirth.

 

Founder director of CHETNA, Indu Capoor says, “More than 60 per cent of maternal deaths take place immediately after the delivery, with more than half occurring within a day. Every minute, a woman dies as a result of pregnancy or childbirth.”

 

On achieving safe motherhood, Capoor says, “Safe motherhood can be achieved by providing high-quality maternal health services to all women during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period.

 

“Care by skilled health personnel before, during, and after childbirth, emergency care for life-threatening obstetric complications, services to prevent and manage complications of unsafe abortion and family planning are some among others,” she said.

Manav Parivar Free Food Center (2)

Good morning friends.  Just take a closer look of the banner.  It was put there in a good way.  We made sure that it will be seen by many who will go there.  Approaching to Dakor at Kanij, Manav parivar started their free food giving.  That place is approximately 30 km from Ahmedabad.   Many who are not Indians can’t read those words.  It says there …. “Manav Parivar Service Center- well come for food.”
