CATS to organise 4th Blood Donation Camp

Every three months, CATS get into action and voluntarily start asking their leader CAT Supreet, sister of Rtn. Amrit Pal Singh, "Now when do we bleed next?"  In the last three camps, they have responded exceedingly well touching everyone with their true concern for the people who might need the blood to survive, and live again!

Now again, the CATS are ready to give blood in support of our Club's Heartline Project. This time their target is 55 units, so as to reach the 200 target with this camp having earlier contributed 145 units. And believe me they are as enthusiastic as ever. Rotarians, members of their families, and the staff from their offices are also welcome to join the noble task, and reiterate their commitment to humanity. 

The camp will be on from 8:30am onwards till 5pm at Rotary and Blood Bank Society Blood Resource Centre in Sector 37.

You can look at CATS blog for their earlier blood donation efforts.

Dental Health Workshop for Teachers

Bharat Prakarsh Foundation, dedicated to spreading literacy and led by our Rtn Neena Singh, joined hands with our Club to organise a Dental Health and Hygiene workshop on 7th November for the school teachers and volunteers who teach never-gone-to-school children in Dhanas. 

The teachers and volunteers of Dhanas AIE Udaan Centre which operates inside Government Senior Secondary School, village Dhanas (near Chandigarh) attended the workshop in the clinic of our famous orthodontist, Rtn. Dr. Gautam Munjal. 

Club President Rtn S K Duggal and Secretary Rtn Anil Chadda also attended the workshop.The teachers were given a detailed audio visual presentation for teaching correct dental habits so that these can be taught to the children at the center, as also demonstrated the right brushing techniques which every teacher learnt.  

The teachers were given samples of toothbrushes and tooth paste tubes for distribution to these children.

Next week it is planned to give to these children,  stationery (copies,pencils and crayons) and some refreshment.

There are three Udaan centers running in Dhanas with 90 children from poor economic strata between the ages of 6-14years. Of these 90 children,71 are graded at Class 1 level so we will be catching them young and impressionable for good habits and mainstreaming.
