Rotary returns Smiley's smile!

Last month, Chandigarh Newsline reported the financial support required by Smiley (14) who was suffering from congenital cardiac problem, to which Rotary Club of Chandigarh responded immediately and took her under their care.

The Club contacted the parents and Smiley was admitted to Fortis Hospital where she was operated on 4th of September and was discharged today after successful surgery to lead a normal healthy life.

Rotary Club of Chandigarh bore the entire cost of her surgery to which the students of Bhavan Vidyalaya, who are members of the Interact Club in the school promoted by Rotary Club, also contributed Rs.20,000, while hospitalization was taken care of by the club’s partner, Fortis Hospital.

“Our mission in Rotary is that no child from economically weaker section requiring cardiac surgery intervention should remain bereft of it”, said former world president of Rotary International, Rajendra K. Saboo.

Sangeet's Melodious Service

Rtn. Sangeet Sharma's debut album "Melody with Me" is out. And what a fine gesture for Sangeet and his brother-in-law, a well-known music director Atul Sharma, for having spent so much of their money, time, and efforts (which could have resulted in making some money for themselves), and dedicating it all for Rotary.
This is the unique spirit of Rotary that gradually grows on you, and helps you become a better human being so that every effort, whether it is one's profession or one's passion, gets directed for the betterment of this society.
Kudos to Sangeet and Atul.
Each one of us can make it truly successful if we buy these CDs in bulk and give it to our employees, our friends and relatives. This memorable ever-green songs make the perfect gift. And it costs just Rs.50. And remember, as you pass along your love and friendship through this CD, you will be in fact, helping someone in need.
So let us join and join in the melody of life.
